Adjacent to the entrance is gravelled parking for a few cars, and a lawn and planted bed run parallel outside the garden wall. A pedestrian gate in the wall provides access to the garden, which is fully enclosed and mostly laid to lawn, with mature shrubs, trees, including apple and cherry, raised beds, and woodstore, chalet and shed. The oil tank is located to the side of the cottage and the boiler is in a small outhouse.
From the garden a pedestrian gate leads to the field, which is also accessed via a five-bar gate from the drive. The land is level and fully fenced, with mains fed water at the northern end.
