Externally there is a generous, enclosed Garden to the rear with paved patio, lawn and several mature trees. The Garden is not overlooked and although next door to a neighbouring pubs beer garden does not become noisy! The home owners and publican have a great relationship and the beer garden is not often used - thank you British weather - and when it is, it is closed at 9pm! There is a gate into the beer garden for bin access for Royal Oak Barn. To the front is a small, attractive gravelled forecourt Garden - well kept with a pretty pot plant or two. The neighbouring pub does have pedestrian access over a corner of this to access their store rooms.
