A useful cellar completes the accommodation, providing a convenient storage space.

The grounds feature a variety of mature trees and enjoy a high level of privacy. To the front, a gravelled driveway provides space to park, there is a further area of lawn and borders which have been planted with a wide variety of spring bulbs and wildflowers.
