A red brick wall with matching brick built piers, with valet inset lighting provides an elegant entrance to Little Foxes. The wide driveway is paved with priory blocks in a decorative pattern and provides ample parking for up to ten vehicles. Dense hedgerow provides excellent screening from the road. Panelled fencing and mature conifers also provide seclusion. Further panelled fencing and matching gateway lead to the decked area arranged over two levels, a further timber gate leads to the side courtyard where a log store and timber garden shed can be found.

The raised decked terraced is connected by a wooden staircase which provides a good vantage point from where to sit and enjoy the grounds. The area below the terrace decking provides a large storage area. A combination of specimen trees, conifers, panelled fencing all provide an excellent degree of screening and seclusion to the property and gardens.

The paved pathway meanders to the lawned area, raised sleepers maintain wide well stocked borders with an abundance of well-established evergreens and flowering shrubs. To the corner is a large summer house. At night the lawns are floodlit ideal for a game of football or volleyball. A paved sloped pathway leads to a set of decked steps giving access to the courtyard.
