There are pleasant surrounding gardens, a delightful walled cottage style front garden and a terraced garden at the rear which provides immediate access to the local footpath network via the Limestone Link.
In addition there is a further good size plot of land a short distance along on the southern side of the lane which provides an area of grass and vegetable plot with an aluminium framed greenhouse and a single garage.
