There is a wide paved and enclosed terrace on the sheltered south side of the house, with a variety of attractive roses and shrubs.

Greensleeves is approached over a shingle driveway with electric gates, leading to a good-size parking and turning area in front of the house. The drive continues past the side of the house to the cart lodge. 

Lavenham has become one of the most sought-after areas of Suffolk. The village has one of the finest collections of medieval buildings in the UK, a magnificent 15th century parish church and the historic Guildhall in the market square. 

This is backed up by a collection of local village facilities including two supermarkets, butchers, bakery, chemist, and a wide selection of pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. There is also a large village hall and doctors' surgery.
