The front of the house has pleasing symmetry, with three-window bays framing each side of the central steps and entrance porch. The top half of the building has Cedar board cladding on all sides. The double garage is at the side, set back, allowing space for two cars to park in front of it (there is an electric vehicle charger here). At the rear, this creates a covered area between the side of the garage and the kitchen, forming a useful and sheltered outside seating/dining space.
The west-facing garden is mostly flat with a few steps up from the terrace to the level lawn. Mature shrubs and hedging curve around the lawn and form a boundary between the garden and the adjacent National Trust fields and woodland; the views are wonderful. A vegetable garden is tucked around the side, and has a large planting bed and mix of paved and gravel areas with a wooden shed and upright cold frame.
