OUTSIDE
The property has both a front and a rear drive. The front drive is accessed off Biddenfield Lane and runs up through the parklike grounds leading through to the main parking/turning area in front of the property as well as access to the garaging.
The grounds which extend to 4.84 acres are a real feature. The grounds adjoining the front drive consist of attractive expanse of open lawn with a number of mature trees. The more formal gardens lie to the rear of the property and include a large terrace which immediately adjoins the property and provides a great space for outdoor entertaining and relaxing, a decked area off the terrace with integrated hot tub completes the picture. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn interspersed by planted shrub beds with attractive deep boarders at the far boundary. There is a generous stable block positioned in the left hand corner of the garden.

Off the rear drive (accessed via Titchfield Lane) is a paddock for turn out and an outdoor manège. There is a second stable block as well as significant parking area suitable for horsebox. In summary a very well presented equestrian package.
