The long garden is north-west facing, so certainly gets the sun the best in the later afternoon and evening. There’s a table and chairs to sit out and a secure shed for storing bikes. The garden is enclosed with a 4ft dry stone wall, split level lawns, borders and shrubs and overlooks the Embleton Dene, making a very pleasant space to sit out and enjoy the fresh air. There’s a large apple tree in the garden where you can help yourself to apples. A dry stone wall runs between the cottage and the Dene.
