The house is set at the far end of a private access drive and is approached via an electric five-bar gate, which opens on to a large, gravelled parking and turning area and the detached triple garage. Backing south, the level gardens surround the house and have been landscaped to keep in mind the nearby countryside whilst at the same time providing year round interest, mature trees, swathes of well-tended lawn and colourful herbaceous borders. There is a paved terrace for outdoor entertaining where there is a timber pergola over which scrambles various fragrant climbing plants. There is a gate from the rear of the garden, which provides direct access on to a public footpath that leads to the famed Pooh Sticks Bridge.
