OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a small lane into a sweeping private gravel driveway leading to the front and side of the house where there is sufficient space for the parking of several vehicles.
The gardens, which surround the property, amount to approximately 1.6 acres or thereabouts and are formally laid, principally with lawned areas, well stocked flower borders, rose gardens and a Ha-ha adjoining the farmland to the front.
The well stocked and tended gardens are a delight to wander through with a wide variety of rhododendrons, azaleas, roses and mature trees and shrubs. The front garden is dominated by a specimen weeping ash tree where there are uninterrupted views over the surrounding farmland. Adjoining the rear of the property is a very private stone flagged courtyard area which leads to a hidden garden and courtyard and a kitchen garden with raised beds.
