Outside:

The property enjoys a parkland setting with established trees, expanses of lawn and stunning sunsets looking to the west across the lake with an abundance of wildlife. The lake is understood to have originally been part of the moat for the Redehall estate, and after that became a fishing lake with an island at its centre. It is still well stocked with fish, and attracts a host of other wildlife. The lake belongs to the property, with near neighbours having a right of access. It is a garden to enjoy in all seasons with fruit trees including cherry, apple and plum with delightful blossoms in the Spring. The Summertime planting includes brightly coloured tropical flowers such as Cannas with a herb garden from which to pick fresh herbs close by the kitchen. It is a secluded garden whilst also giving plenty of scope for socialising too whether by the poolside or elsewhere in the grounds.

Agents Note:

The thatched building is designed so it can be easily converted to a bedroom with all the plumbing in for a future en-suite.
