The property fronts Cobden Street with an entrance door to the house and a separate 'shopfront' door to the old Butchers Shop. There is also a timber gated archway giving access front to rear, this also forms a shared pedestrian right of way for the neighbouring property. The rear garden is quite attractive, with a vast array of shrubs, plants and trees, lawn and patio. There is a timber cattle gate to the hardstanding area and outbuildings.
A unique feature of this property is the vast range of outbuildings associated with the property's former function as the home, shop and workplace of a traditional Butchers. The outbuildings consist of various livestock keeping, handling, slaughter and processing buildings. There is a large garage and former cold store. These outbuildings lead out onto a concrete hardstanding area, with vehicular gated access onto Pinfold Jetty, in turn leading to Pinfold Gate.
