The grounds are where this property truly comes into its own. Spanning approximately 3.5 acres, the land has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully arranged to make the most of its idyllic setting.

To the front and side of the home, private gardens offer colour and structure year-round, complete with mature borders, well-tended lawns, and a variety of trees and shrubs. There is a detached wooden garage, perfect for vehicles or workshop use, along with a separate thatched and timber storage shed that mirrors the main home’s architectural charm.

A gated gravelled driveway (also a public footpath) leads to the front of the home, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles and offering a welcoming and secure entrance. There will always be space for family and friends to visit even with their boats, camper vans and trailers thanks to the amount of space that is on offer here.

Beyond the gardens lies a generous natural pond, with a charming timber boathouse and decked area tucked to one side.

The meadow stretches out beyond the main garden area and is framed by mature hedgerows and trees and the river Brit. A public footpath runs through the meadow as well as behind the main house.
