Old Saddlery
This detached barn-style building was previously used as a saddlery. It is insulated and has exposed beams with doors to the front and side, roof light windows and a glass apex window to the front. Cloakroom with WC and wash basin.

The Gardens and Grounds
These are considered a feature of the property and wrap around the house to all sides. The front garden is particularly delightful and sets the house well back from Top Road with a lovely expansive part wall-enclosed lawn. (This area could feasibly be used to create additional parking, subject to planning consent.)
Behind the house is an area of patio and beyond is a further expanse of lawn which can also be accessed via a five-bar gate approached from the driveway.
There are several additional brick outbuildings in various conditions, which could serve a variety of purposes for garden storage, etc. Much of the garden offers lovely views across neighbouring land and the countryside beyond.
NB Please note that there is the possibility of acquiring a neighbouring parcel of
land (approx 2.5 acres) by separate negotiation. Please contact agents for further details.
