Outside

Juniper Hill is set in a very private, tucked away location. Electric gates lead onto a sweeping driveway which leads down to the main house, garaging and annexe, where there is parking and turning for any number of vehicles. The lovely garden, which surrounds the house on two sides, slopes down gently to the woodland which not only provides spectacular views, but is also a haven for wildlife and wild flowers including swathes of snow drops, daffodils and bluebells in winter and spring. In the warmer months, the garden has gentle paths mowed through its long summer grasses, providing an oasis of calm which is completely in keeping with the character and feel of the property, and you can imagine long hot summer days where the children run free along these and through the woods, and you don't see them until tea time. Perfect.

Outbuildings: There is a Summer House, useful Woodstore with adjacent Mower Shed
