Outside - To the front of the house we have a wrought iron gate leads to a bridge over a picturesque brook which in turn leads to the long private driveway accessing the property and a large courtyard style parking and turning area adjacent to which is a lean-to open bay cart lodge style building. The delightful mature gardens are located mostly to the front, side and rear of the property and are a rather special feature enjoying a very high degree of privacy and seclusion.

Immediately to the rear of the property there is a large secluded paved terrace and further enclosed garden area laid to lawn with a shrub covered pergola and garden storage shed in one corner. Gated access leading to the main gardens. Adjacent to the car port there is a DETACHED SINGLE STOREY BARN STYLE PROPERTY which is currently used as a large storage area but could be utilised for a variety of different uses including perhaps conversion to a home office or studio. At one end of the storeroom there is a door to an ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM with fitted shower cubicle, wash hand basin, low level w.c., tiled floor, heated towel rail, wall mirror and wall storage cupboard. Windows within the main storeroom which overlook the garden and a trap door to loft space. Door to the rear leading into the paved terrace area immediately behind the house. Built-in garden store at the far end.

The principal gardens to the rear of the property are mainly laid to lawn with a great variety of mature shrubs, bushes and trees around. There are also herb beds and vegetable beds. A small orchard with fruit trees.
