Default Watering - Can I connect a hose to a washing machine water supply?

Fitting an external tap is not really hard


One comment I would add is to ensure the pipe is well insulated. Our
outside tap here in Normandy is a copper pipe out of the ground up the
side of the wall. It has two layers of pipe insulation wrapped around
it. It survived the harsh Winter we had here without problem. A similar
outside tap in England burst its pipe during a mild Winter due to lack
of lagging.
