The terraces, raised beds, steps and platforms, bring character to the garden, character that complements perfectly that of the property itself. To the side and immediate rear of the cottage is a block-paved courtyard that is accessed via either of two metal gates and which enjoys well-stocked flower and shrub beds. This steps up to the one-car driveway which in turn accesses the garage. There is also a useful brick-built storage barn with light. A further wrought iron gate accesses a stepped pathway either side of which are deep borders stocked with evergreens and perennials. The steps rise to a paved patio which is screened by conifer hedging enjoys a high degree of privacy.
