On the right hand side a wedge of land is included within the sale. This land will be divided between Foxglove Cottage and Columbine Cottage and will provide Foxglove Cottage with off street parking for at least one vehicle. There is potential to extend this to two spaces.
The lane continues up to Foxglove Cottage which has a shared access path to the front and its own footpath to the rear.
The shared footpath continues past Columbine Cottage and leads to steps up to a pleasant garden with lawn and flower beds. At the end of the garden there is an enclosed area with a patio which abuts a protected wildlife reserve which is owned by a charity.
