Like many properties in Corris the garden and parking are separate to the cottage. These are ca.100m from the cottage. There is a dedicated parking spot for one car but plenty of parking within the village. Outdoor furniture is provided to enjoy the summer sun. The garage is secure for storing bikes and other equipment.
