The drive stretches down to the house, providing an area of parking and turning, as well as a tarmac path which leads around the house to a large patio/seating area immediately by the doors to the open-plan living area, and enjoying a wonderful open vista.

The front garden is mainly laid to lawn, with hedge and fence borders, plus a greenhouse, vegetable patches, large storage shed and two containers (which can stay or be removed) as well as a home office/games room with a small orchard beyond.
