Garden

The property occupies a remarkable location, beautifully positioned between the village of Hepworth and the Victoria. The long driveway is Snug Lane on plans. This purely has a right of way for the footpath that passes through towards Barnside and does turn right down towards the village itself, therefore delightful access for the homeowners walking down to the village. The long driveway is particularly impressive. It has a broad turning-circle at the top, next to the road, a cattle grid and the driveway passes through the property’s land with mature woodland to one side and further paddocks. There is a very large yard/driveway area to the front, providing a huge amount of turning space and parking. This also gives access to several outbuildings including two, detached blocks of stables.

Garden

The land that comes with Snug House Farm is particularly picturesque. It is divided into a variety of well-maintained paddocks which have been carefully tended and the majority of which are down to grass. There is a good amount of woodland area and many fabulous features. The land is shown on the attached Google Earth image. It is fair to say that the beauty of these woodlands, land and the combination of the home, stables and yard is rare to find, particularly in such a lovely location with the fabulous village just a short drive/walk away. The land approaches approximately 24 acres. The home is also served by beautiful, well-maintained gardens comprising of shaped lawn with mature banks of shrubbery and rockery garden areas. It should be noted that the property has a footpath passing through in this rural location. It has not been a problem to the owners who have lived here for many years and as previously pointed out, this gives great access to the hamlet of Barnside at the top of the hill and the village of Hepworth just a little further down the valley.
