Outside

The outside space is every bit as impressive as the home itself. Mature lawned gardens wrap around the property, complemented by established trees, planted borders, a greenhouse and a paved seating area beneath a timber pergola, providing plenty of space to relax or entertain. Standing proudly within the grounds is the historic Grade II listed Dandy Mill, creating a truly distinctive setting that few homes can offer. Beyond the gardens, a substantial courtyard gives access to an extensive range of traditional brick-built outbuildings, including former stables, garages, workshops and stores, together with a generous first-floor loft above the stable block. These buildings are currently used for storage and workshop space. Buyers wishing to explore alternative uses should make their own enquiries regarding any necessary planning permissions and statutory consents.
