Grounds And Gardens - The current owner has created a wonderful natural garden, which flows seamlessly into the rolling countryside beyond. Dry stone walls have been built to tier areas for seating and outdoor dining, whilst deep borders have been established and expertly planted for year-round colour, texture and structure.

A pergola gives shade to a perfect alfresco terrace directly outside the kitchen with pretty stone steps leading down to the lawned gardens, with established trees created definition between garden and the fields beyond. The terrace is ideal for long lunches and suppers during Spring/Summer.

To the front of the house is a large walled garden with paths creating a parterre style kitchen garden producing an abundance of vegetables and soft fruits.

A covered veranda leading to the front door offers a useful area to store wood and boots being protected from the elements.

A gated driveway offers ample parking for several vehicles.

Complete with a shower room and two separate rooms on the ground floor as well as an additional room upstairs, it could easily be converted to accommodation for holiday letting (subject to necessary planning consents).

A level grass area directly outside the studio has been created to enjoy the rural outlook, but is also the idea space for a marquee for private parties.

Next to the studio is a multi purpose outbuilding ideal for storing tractors etc.
