A timber hand gate with trellising above leads round to the front and south and steps up to a shingle terrace giving access to the kitchen and affording views over the communal gardens and grounds to the Stour Valley beyond. A brick and cobbled path, with a further gate, leads to an inner paved courtyard, with raised beds, together with pipework for a water feature if required.
