Outside, a five-bar wooden gate provides access to the property, and to the gravel driveway in front of the house, offering plenty of parking space and leading to the detached garage and carport. The wrap-around gardens include areas of well-tended lawn, patios for al fresco dining, colourful border beds and a wealth of established shrubs and hedgerows, while beyond the gardens, the grounds include wooded meadows, which run to Guilden Brook on the north boundary.
