Electric gates open into a gravelled drive leading to the double garage. The front also benefits from a large patio, accessed from the kitchen and family room, facing southwest and capturing the sun for much of the day.

The rear garden faces in an easterly direction, and is finished with an Indian sandstone patio across the rear of the house, which opens onto a garden laid to lawn. The garden abuts paddock behind, creating a spacious open countryside feel whilst in the garden.
