A generous-sized driveway leads to the detached double garage, also constructed in brick beneath a pitched and hipped timber roof structure covered in concrete tiles.

Since 2018, the kitchen and utility room have been re-fitted, some windows have been renewed and a washroom adjoining the master bedroom was refitted as a bathroom. The main bathroom was also fully refitted. An excellent garden room has been added at the rear – completed in 2019 with insulated base walls and a pitched and insulated Supalite hipped roof.
