Outbuildings
These have most recently been used for sheep and comprise:
A six-bay pole barn with concrete flooring, water and power (currently disconnected). Large concrete apron to the front. Behind is a large barn of block construction divided into four sections, again with concrete apron to the front.
Down the side of the driveway is an outbuilding of block and timber construction divided into garaging, storage rooms and workshops with electricity and water connected. Adjoining this building is a useful former Nissen hut of block and corrugated construction having been recently re-roofed.
Behind the barn and discreetly tucked away is a large former chicken run which could be utilised for a number of secure uses, being bounded by high fencing and subdivided into four sections. Within this area is a summer house.

Outside
The drive culminates in garaging and a parking area for a good number of vehicles, a spur of which continues to a brick driveway running to the front of the house.
The gardens are principally laid to lawn, screened with mature hedges and flower borders, well-stocked with numerous trees and shrubs including rhododendrons, azaleas, roses, choisya, fuchsia, buddleia, silver birch and pear trees. Immediately adjoining the rear of the house is a broad paved terrace providing complete privacy.
There is an attractive, enclosed, level area of lawn which was formerly a vegetable garden with a greenhouse to the side.
The land is divided into four stock fence enclosed fields with mature woodland shaws including a number of impressive oaks. Of particular note are the two ponds of about 0.5 of an acre and 0.25 of an acre respectively.
Gardens and grounds - in all about 13 acres.
