Sergeants Farm is accessed off a quiet, secluded country lane, through private electric gates over a shingle driveway which leads to the outbuildings and an expansive area of parking and double garage to the front of the house, with lawned gardens beyond. The house and buildings occupy a substantial plot of approximately 8 acres, predominately enclosed by mature mixed hedgerow and established trees. Immediately to the rear of the house is a wide, paved Italian Porcelain terrace featuring a beautifully kept swimming pool with electric cover, beyond which are laid-to-lawn gardens and the L-shaped outbuildings.

The outbuildings comprise a bar and entertaining space leading directly to the pool area, along with a shower room, sauna, gym and an impressive and versatile room ideal for use as an at-home cinema. Most of the equestrian facilities lie to the east of the house, which include a feeding box and tack room and five stables, with an outdoor area to the front of the house.
