OUTSIDE
Approached from the main road by large double wooden electric gates and a wooden pedestrian gate open onto a gravelled driveway through to a large parking and turning area. There are a range of timber-built outbuildings, including two large double garages (one of which is used by the current Vendors as a workshop), a wooden studio, kennels with an outside run area, an open-fronted barn providing handy additional storage and log-store area, a purpose-built Office/Home Gym space with power and light and, with a Wi-Fi beacon to the house, providing great broadband speeds to accommodate home-working and a shepherd’s hut (this can be left in situ via negotiation).

To either side of the driveway, there are well-maintained lawned areas which are interspersed with a variety of mature shrubs and trees. The gardens wraparound the property, with a gravelled pathway leading to the front door. A pathway continues around the house and leads to the rear terrace, which provides the ideal space to enjoy al fresco dining, as well as privacy whilst having full advantage of far-reaching views. Continuing through the gardens, there is a hot tub area with power supply (this can be left in situ via negotiation). The extensive lawns continue, leading down to the more productive area of garden, with polytunnel, former vegetable beds and fruit cage.

There is a large enclosed pony paddock with a treehouse to the far corner.

In total, the grounds extend to about 2.8 acres.
