Outside

The property is approached by a set of timber gates opening out to a brick driveway offering parking for several vehicles. The property is set within approximately 4.5 acres of grounds including outbuildings, paddocks and woodland. To the rear are attractive gardens with level slate paved seating area with walled terrace over and steps leading up to a higher terrace with further rockery garden. Beyond is an Orchard with mature apple trees, an aluminium Greenhouse 12'6 x 8'6 with staging to one side and Polytunnel about 20' x 8'6 with cold water supply and raised beds. From here there is a further area that the current occupiers have historically used for chickens, with a Cornish hedge and mature tree borders. A central path leads back to the house and provides access to a further shrubbery garden with pond. A gate opens into an enclosed vegetable garden with raised beds. There is also a raised private decked seating area. Immediately to the front of the house is a pleasant, terraced seating area amongst a delightful flower garden with a profusion of mature plants and shrubs. Alongside is a timber Summerhouse about 10'6 x 5'9. Wooden archway and gate opens to steps down to lower garden. Predominantly laid to lawn bordered with a variety of trees and plants

Detached Double Garage

 Of block construction with natural granite face under a slate pitched roof the Garage is about 24'9 x 20' with concrete floor, boarded roof storage, two double vehicular doors, power and lighting. The current occupiers have temporarily partitioned this in to two stables and a secure tack room. This space offers fantastic potential for conversion (subject to arranging the relevant planning permission) and would make a perfect annexe. Outside is a generous concrete parking area for several vehicles off which is a covered Log Storage Area and a former Pump House with original pump, water collection area and well.

 Paddock and Woodland

 A gate from the concrete parking area opens out in to a pasture paddock, through which the Saints Way crosses. At the top of this field a further gate opens out into woodland.

AGENTS NOTE: The Saints Way passes through adjacent field.
