The property is Grade II Listed and has been subject to recent expenditure by the current owners with the replacement of the front and rear windows and doors with handmade double glazed hardwood by Icklesham Joinery, and also with bespoke radiator covers in the living room.

There is an area of private lawn, flower borders stocked with a selection of roses, camellia, hydrangea, clematis, irises, etc.
The communal area of garden has a beautiful pergola walkway covered with wisteria and roses, and a selection of fruit and ornamental trees and shaped yew topiary. The garden is completely enclosed by the original high brick garden wall.
