The garage has an up and over door and has been semi converted to a self-contained guest accommodation unit. It provides good storage in its current form. The garden to the rear is of good size. It is bound on two sides by a block built wall and the remaining side is a mix of timber panelling and post and wire fencing. The garden is laid to lawn.
