The bungalow stands elevated from the lane side to a good sized plot with gardens principally to the front, side and rear. To the front of the house, the garden is lawned and with a wide paved patio extending into the front veranda. Paths lead to each side and at the rear broad steps rise gently to the larger garden and include hard standing for shed and greenhouse. Mature shrubs and specimen trees create privacy and are set around a central lawn and beds, all providing further opportunity for the green fingered enthusiast. The garden has historically been used as a vegetable garden.

Adjacent to the lane at the front is an area of hard standing and turning together with a single garage which stands semi detached to an adjoining garage.
