Adjoining the gardens are pasture paddocks with post and rail fencing. There are double wooden gates providing separate vehicular access from the rear lane onto a driveway. There is also a fully enclosed manège with spectacular views of the Black Mountains.

The Stables and The Coach House
In addition to the main house is an adjacent equestrian stone built complex with 4 stables, tack room, kitchen and storage. This complex is extremely flexible and could be used for garaging and workshops if required.

Positioned above the stables is a spacious self-contained annexe with a sitting room, bedroom, shower room, study and fitted kitchen/breakfast room providing fully independent accommodation. This is an excellent addition with holiday let potential or multi-generational use.
