The cottage enjoys a good sized garden plot which has been landscaped to cater for the hillside position and includes a range of terraced patios and grassed gardens. To the side of the property, a gated access leads to a yard by the kitchen entrance, alongside which there is a stone paved patio within a wooden balustrade. Below this terrace, a utility area and timber garden shed. Off the yard, there are wooden fuel stores and a gateway leads to broad steps which rise through grassed terraces, which are interspersed with occasional tree and shrub planting, including palms which take full advantage of the southerly aspect.
