Externally; The property benefits from having a coal cellar, as well as a traditional outhouse, although now in need of some restoration.  There is also a communal garden and drying area to the rear which is predominantly laid to lawn with areas of planting.  Although there are no private gardens, there are fabulous parks and riverside walks on the doorstep.
