The property is approached from a long private drive which splits off to Garden Cottage with a separate tarmac drive bordered by a most attractive area of woodland and mature laurel hedging. This leads up to the open double bay brick and timber built garage, ideal for storage with steps leading up the side to a very useful extra room which would make an ideal office, playroom or teenage den, with uPVC windows, power and light. The extensive gardens are a main feature of this property and unusual to have a property which is set right in the middle of its own grounds. To the front of the property a large area fully planted with mature shrubs and trees providing an abundance of flora and fauna and this continues down to the road. To the side of the property there are two large level areas of lawn, a paved seating area and stone steps lead up to the main walled garden. This is predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with numerous fruits trees. There is also a large workshop providing storage or potential annexe/holiday let subject to the necessary planning applications. On the top left hand side is the more productive area with a large Victorian greenhouse and raised beds. The views from the top of the garden are quite stunning totalling 3.47 acres.
