A layby adjacent to the highway provides parking for 2 cars. There is courtyard amenity space at the front and side of the chapel. The purchaser will be required to make up the gateway between the chapel and graveyard with a stone wall to match the existing within three months of the purchase and thereafter maintain the stone wall forming the new eastern boundary. The adjoining graveyard remains in use and does not form part of the sale. The boundaries on the south and west side are the chapel walls themselves.
