Outside
The property is approached via a five bar gate leading to an extensive drive providing parking for numerous vehicles and in turn leading to the detached double garage. Adjacent to the gravel drive are large expanses of lawn with a number of specimen trees which provide focal points and shade. To the south east elevation is a second gate providing access to the rear garden, stable block and studio and rear access is provided by two gates either side of the principal dwelling.

The rear garden is a true delight and benefits from a south and westerly aspect enabling it to take advantage of the afternoon and evening sunshine. It is distinctly segregated into areas of lawn which are flanked by well stocked herbaceous borders and a variety of specimen trees which provides focal points and shade. To the north west side of the property is an area of hard standing adjacent to the garage with a green house and the oil tank.

Beyond the formal garden is a former orchard with a variety of fruit trees adjacent to which is a particularly useful detached studio building which could provide office space if required but would also make a useful party barn. A second gate accesses an enclosure in front of the stable block which has two loose boxes and a tack room. To the west of the stable block are large expanses of paddock with mature boundaries provided by hedge and trees and an attractive walnut tree providing a focal point within the centre of one of the paddocks. There is a second paddock to the south westerly elevation which abuts fields where there is a timber framed building which is in need of some repair.
