Outside - Bowling Court is accessed off the Fair Mile via a long drive which leads to the parking area where there is room for residents and visitors. A meandering path leads to the gardens and paved paths lead to the houses. The gardens are well-maintained with a full-time gardener and handy man and feature manicured lawns and perennial planting with roses and shrubs.
There is a central fishpond, around which there is a Tai Chi class for residents each week. The whole space is a peaceful escape whilst being just a level walk from the town.
