OUTSIDE
There is a garden which can be reached from the sun room or from gates at either end of the house. There is a large patio area laid with irregular slates. There are many steps and different levels and care should be taken in when walking between them. Specifically there is a large step up when going from the rear path to the sun room. When you go from the sun room into the main house there are two steps going down, one just before the back door and one where the back door is. The grass area is on a slope and leads onto a wooded area. If you look carefully among the trees you may find a long abandoned tennis court! The lower part of the garden has a hedge that has gaps in it and that leads to a drop and then a grass verge and the road. It is not child or dog proof. There is a garden table. Garden chairs are kept in the sun room.
