The property is approached from the village lane through a five bar gate. The garden amounts to approximately just under 1 acre and has been beautifully maintained and landscaped. To the front of the house is a gravel parking area besides which is a double garage. To the rear of the double garage is a barn which provides a great space either as storage or possibly a home office and has a children's den area above. Between the barn and the garage is a large greenhouse with light and power. The attractive mature garden lies principally to the south and west of the house. Adjacent to the front entrance is a broad area of lawn and a beech hedge screening the house from the country lane. The lawn extends around to the south of the house where there is a bank of rhododendrons, and this elevation of the house is adorned by mature clematis and roses. Immediately adjoining the house is a large terrace with evergreen shrubs and azaleas. Adjacent to the terrace is a heated swimming pool with electric cover. Beyond the formal area of garden is a long stretch of lawn going up to a wild flower meadow which is prolific with bluebells in early spring. There is a well stocked herbaceous and evergreen flowerbed with a path leading through to an area of grassland which is currently rented from the Stratfield Saye Estate.
