Accessed through a five bar gate is the driveway, offing parking for four to five cars (in tandem) and leading to the larger than average detached single garage.  The garage benefits from light and power and has both a roller door for vehicular access and a pedestrian door to the side.

The front garden is enclosed by natural stone walls and hedging and is predominately laid to lawn with an array of mature trees and shrubs.  A path leads around the property to the rear garden.

The rear garden is generously proportioned and has open countryside to the side and the rear.  The stunning garden has been well-tended over the years and is mainly laid to lawn with a verdant display of shrubs, box hedging, lavender and a mini arboretum planted with specimen trees, including Ginko, acers and firs. A path meanders, past a natural spring, through a woodland area and to the eponymous 'little orchard' - planted with prolific fruiting trees including apple and fig.  Within the garden are two wooden sheds offering plenty of space for garden storage.
