Outside

The grounds and paddocks are of particular note, extending in all to about 3 acres. A tarmac driveway from the lane provides ample parking and access to the garage and adjoining car port. An access way to one side provides a route to the paddocks. The gardens and grounds take full advantage of the mature setting with a variety of areas of interest together with a paved terrace set off the rear of the property. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with fine views over the paddocks towards the woodland beyond. To the rear of the garden, there is a stable block (with power) with two loose boxes and a tack room together with a separate stable outbuilding (with power and adjoining the vegetable garden). There are two paddocks (the first of about 1.5 acres and 2nd of about an acre) with inter connecting gates and post and rail fencing. A public footpath extends across the rear of the paddocks. A fence has been erected ahead of the footpath to ensure separation between the paddocks and the footpath.
