Outside the property is approached over a long driveway sweeping between the two large post and rail paddocks leading to the front of the house where there is ample parking and turning space for several vehicles, access to the double garage (currently a games room) and via gates to the rear. Landscaped gardens surround the house having a gravel terrace and mature planting to the front, paved terrace and extensive lawns with a variety of trees to the sides and rear. Behind the house is a detached self contained building ideal as annexe or office. There are two blocks of timber stables, plus a covered store, large timber barn and two further fenced paddocks.
