OUTSIDE:

Along with the house itself an extra dimension to the let and a real jewel is its extensive plot and beautiful gardens which extends over 5 acres and has many different landscaped and themed sections including a Victorian style period walled garden, wonderful croquet lawn, well stocked and kitchen garden, wild area perfect for the local wildlife to enjoy and many other areas which are all beautifully tended by the gardener, who will remain in attendance as part of the let. Given the nature of the building and grounds we do not feel the let would be suitable for families with young children. The property is on private drainage and all other services are mains connected.
