There is a discrete brick and pantile bin store by the gates, opposite a similar, much larger, workshop/bike store. A secure gate through the wall leads to the side garden, screened by a mature thorn and Beech hedge. It comprises flower beds, a lawn, a brick cold frame and a wooden garden shed. A further gate leads to the front garden which is screened by a Cyprus hedge.
