To the rear, a large formal garden is enclosed by mature hedging, providing a high degree of privacy and a wonderful space for relaxation or entertaining.

A five-bar gate from the driveway opens to an impressive range of outbuildings, including storage sheds and a hard-standing timber-framed stable block. Beyond the additional garden area lies an approximately 2-acre paddock, enjoying superb far-reaching countryside views and featuring a sizeable pond to the rear. The grounds are further enhanced by an additional hard-standing stable block with multiple stalls and an undercover hay store — offering excellent potential for equestrian or smallholding use.
