The cottage stands to one corner of a generous garden plot which is enclosed by natural stone walls to the front and side and served by pedestrian access off Church Lane and gated vehicular access into the larger side gardens. Here, it is believed, there may be opportunity for the erection of buildings, subject to any necessary planning consent.

Fronting the house is an attractive lawned garden with mature perimeter planting and a sitting area by the front entrance. The generous gardens extend to the side where there are further informal lawns, mature shrubs and trees. There is a broad hard standing area for vehicles by the driveway gates and pleasant sitting areas placed around the garden, and within the rear boundary an interesting stone former pig coop offers useful garden storage.
