The cost of maintaining a Right of Way is shared with neighbouring properties and one stone wall with a neighbouring house. There is also a flying freehold associated with the property.

The sunny gardens are on two sides of the semi-detached property. Adjoining the house is a landscaped terrace, surrounded by flowerbeds and trees. Across the gated gravel driveway there is an archway set within a beech hedge which leads through to a lawned area where there is more planting, including trees and hedges. This part of the garden has a large shed, two woodsheds and a play house. The gardens are fully enclosed making them enjoyably private with a side gate leading to the road.

The driveway is reached by a private lane shared by a handful of neighbouring homes and has space for several cars. There is an EV charger by the attached garage.
