Outside, the gravelled area to the rear of the cottage provides convenient parking with steps leading down to the entrance. The front of the cottage features a delightful seating area with outdoor furniture, ideal for admiring the surrounding countryside.
While the garden offers a peaceful retreat, it is important to note that there is a significant drop down to the roadside over the boundary wall, so care should be taken with young children.
