The Tithe Barn may be ripe for a number of uses including conversion to an additional residential dwelling subject to obtaining the relevant permissions. The main house sits behind the idyllic and attractive natural pond to the front of the plot, behind both of which are charming and well-maintained grounds, with an abundance of established planting and lawned areas. Other features include a kitchen garden, an ancient meadow, mini-orchard and an enclosed courtyard. There is also a sun terrace abutting the rear of the property. A stream naturally meanders through the grounds. The garden provides a haven for wildlife and the current owners open the gardens annually for charity under the National Garden Scheme.
