The annexe also enjoys a decking area abutting the rear and has been divided neatly within the grounds to encourage the feeling of privacy and to promote a separate space to enjoy alongside the main house. 

Outside Laburnams is set back from the road and is accessed over a private gravelled drive through a five-bar gate, which in turn leads to an extensive parking area extending around the back of the house. This gives access to the detached double garage with adjoining annexe, with electric roller doors and power and light connected.

The formal gardens are divided up into two distinct areas, both of which are predominately lawned with established borders and incorporate a sun terrace as well as a summer house and active fish pond. Also incorporated within the plot is a bin store area, log store, additional summer house, timber storage shed and vegetable garden. Boundaries are predominately defined by fencing.
