Grounds & Outbuildings: Approached via a gated driveway behind a brick wall, the grounds wrap around three sides of the property, backing onto open countryside and a designated wildlife site. The gardens include extensive lawns, a rose garden, a vegetable plot, greenhouse, wendy house and outside WC.

The Coach House: Offers garaging and storage with clear potential for conversion into an annexe or home office (STPP).

Historic Barns: A rare range of Napoleonic-era barns offering incredible scope for development, whether for leisure facilities, classic car storage, or additional residential units (STPP).
