The delightful shingled courtyard leads from a long private gated driveway, providing large amounts of parking. Uniform sections of lawn to the front provide a welcoming approach along with a neat terrace pathway wrapping around the front the building. The immediate gardens and grounds are located to the west commencing a shaped terrace and swimming pool. The gardens are mainly lawn retained by post and rail fencing with breath-taking views. A raised decked terrace leads to an area currently housing a hot tub. There is timber framed pool house along with a wonderful circular summer house positioned to the immediate corner of the garden, an ideal space for outdoor entertaining.

Beyond the garden, accessed from the drive, is a very useful and flexible garden machinery store. This traditional timber-framed stable-style building has been separated into three moveable sections offering an ideal building for those with equestrian interest. Adjacent is a detached double garage. The paddock extends to just under 4 acres with independent vehicular access and is enclosed by post and rail fencing.
