To the front of the property is a hard-standing for two cars plus a further stoned area providing parking for several more vehicles. The rear is accessed by path to the side of the house or through glass porch, to an easy maintenance garden which is divided into many different and interesting areas and apart from the astro-turf area, is covered with easy care stones. A stone path leads you past the astro-turf area to the left, to an attractive rockery with some established plants and seasonal plants in pots that can be removed. The garden shed sits beyond this at the bottom of the garden. To the right of the stone path sits the oil tank which is enclosed with a metal cut-out screen beneath which grows an abundance of variegated green plants, winding their way up the screen and popping out through open spaces to provide a unique covering which lights up at night providing the garden with a soft light ambiance for the summer barbeques and much needed light during the dark winter months. A screened area also provides cover for recycling bins and boxes. The patio itself at the bottom of the garden, is a sun trap. Creepers and climbers make their way up the several trellises, positioned strategically to provide all important privacy. There is outside lighting to both the front and rear of the property.
