Outside, well-maintained, mature gardens lie to the rear of the property and are mainly laid to lawn, with an abundance of well-established plants and shrubs, a rose bed and a lower paved seating area. At the far end of the garden is a raised decking area, providing an attractive level seating space with delightful views over the village and surrounding countryside.
