The outdoor space allows great scope and provides the cottage with excellent privacy; encircling the property and being fully enclosed with timber fencing and sheltering trees, and backing onto fields on three sides. The garden is largely laid to lawn, making it very manageable, with raised beds and gravelled driveway, pathways and parking. The stone outhouse to the rear is ideal as a utility or workshop, and the garden offers the opportunity for a green fingered enthusiast to develop further.
