Outside

A large wrought iron gate gives access to the garden, though in practice the current owners tend to park on High Street, which is in close proximity. There is an extensive gravel area in front of the house with well-established planting interspersed, and continuing round the end of the house is the patio area adjacent to the conservatory. A gravel path continues round the conservatory and along the rear of the house where there is a pedestrian door leading back to St Mary’s Wynd. There is a raised bedding area on the opposite side of this path. Steps up from this gravel path lead to a lawn at higher level, with bedding areas around. Adjacent to this is the garage. Continuing down the garden, on the north side there is an area of lawn and beyond this a large pond with bedding areas around. Towards the bottom corner of the garden is the hexagonal Summer House measuring 7’8” (2.35m) across. This has two windows, pitched roof, and half door. Towards the southern corner of the garden is an area with well established trees, and then moving back towards the house an orchard area with smaller fruit trees. There are then further bedding areas continuing back towards the house, again with very well established planting.
