Driveway to side which leads to a neighbouring property but No. 18 has a vehicular and pedestrian access leading to a pair of wooden gates which in turn lead to a long pebblestone courtyard style drive/parking area. Immediately adjacent to the cottage itself there is an attractive garden area with mature shrubs, raised borders, pathway leading to the back door and a lawned area with further shrubs, bushes and borders around and this area and the courtyard style pathway and driveway is bordered by a most attractive brick and flint wall. There is then a further area of garden laid to lawn with oil storage tank on a raised brick plinth and adjacent to this area there is a detached former cart lodge, an interesting brick and flint building with high vaulted ceiling currently with a tin roof. The building does provide potential for conversion to a garage/workshop.

The principal gardens are a rather special feature indeed and are of a generous size with feature brick and flint walls to either side. The gardens are principally laid to lawn with a great variety of mature shrubs, bushes and trees around and the gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy and seclusion and in all extend to approximately of an acre.
