Front Garden

Standing in a total of approximately 10 acres, we offer for sale the principal house which is set within approximately two acres of driveway, gardens, grounds and paddock, plus three additional fields. To the front of the property are large, automatically operated gates set within stone gate posts, which provide a particularly pleasing entrance and give access to a very spacious driveway. The front gardens are manicured, featuring mature shrubs, a stone pathway leading to the front door, and a further pathway leading to a pedestrian gate enclosing the rear garden.

Rear Garden

To the rear, the gardens are simply superb. Immediately to the rear of the property is a generous stone flagged patio, ideal for sitting out and enjoying the view, a hot tub and an outdoor sauna, while the remainder of the grounds are laid to lawn with spectacular views beyond. There is also a fabulous outside bar which is perhaps best described by the photographs, and a garden WC which comprises a low-level WC, wash hand basin and a personal door through to a store. The store is of a very good size and has an external door out to the stone paved terrace, as well as an automatically operated door to the side. The most remarkable feature of the gardens is the truly amazing pirate ship, purchased as 40ft fishing trawler by the current vendor from Cornwall and turned into what it is today. Not only is this an amazing feature but it is an ideal space for sitting out and enjoying the astonishing views. Given the boat's height, there is an element of feeling as though you are out at sea! There is also an upper level and galley quarters which are enclosed. The gardens and grounds offer space for a firepit and are currently maintained by an automatically operated lawn mower. Additionally, there are three fields bordering the property, each divided by stone walls, and comprising the remaining approximate 8 acres. All enjoy stunning views and one features a footpath leading to Denby Village.
