To the front of the property lawned areas are demarcated by a garden wall, beyond which there is a gravelled area providing parking for numerous cars, with mature trees, further grass lawns and a garden shed, all of which is sheltered by the canal wall. The property is situated in a quiet hamlet and cul-de-sac of four properties; there is a shared access to three other cottages beyond the garden wall.There is a paved path to the front door, with roses around the porch and further lawns to either side.
