Grounds of the Cook and Beard Homes. The grounds are in reasonable condition directly around the homes but the extensive grass area to the rear is largely overgrown except for the semi-circular formal area.
Entering the grounds from Argyle Road through the pair of wrought iron gates and two side gates, the kitchen garden areas are now used for practical and ornamental purposes. The whole frontage of the grounds is bounded by a stone wall. Each dwelling has a yard to the rear and the communal garden is elevated by a stone retaining wall. Access is via five flights of steps leading to semi-circular paths. There are only remnants of the central sundial; the grounds beyond this formal garden are neglected and overgrown.
