The driveway is to the north-west corner.
Beyond the garage is a wide lawned garden to the west, also the obvious area for a driveway if the property were to remain and building development to be accessed to the rear of the plot.
There are borders to the side. The garden is approximately 180` depth with 100` width, making it probably the largest garden in Nevill Estate.
To the east elevation there is an integral outside store and a blocked additional door with the eastern pathway and garden. The rear garden has a central hedge and a superb view to the South Downs.
The rear garden is to have a planning application with optimism for a detached 4 bedroom house to the rear of the garden, with driveway to the west side of the plot.
