The property is complemented by a beautiful, mature and well maintained enclosed garden comprising lawns and an abundance of mature plants, shrubs and borders and which lies to both sides of the house. To the rear the pretty flagged terrace with wooden pergola covered with climbing roses is perfectly positioned to benefit from the rural, tranquil setting and enjoy the spectacular countryside views. Below the house is a large paddock, bordered by a natural stream which can be accessed via stone steps from the side garden or via a vehicular gate located off the driveway, the paddock has a long frontage to the lane approaching the house and it may be possible (subject to any necessary consents) to create a new access directly on to the public highway. To the far end of the driveway is a timber garage and a useful storage container.
...
Adjoining the paddock and to the side of the garage is a large area of pretty naturalised woodland with a variety of trees and shrubs planted by the previous owner to encourage, and provide a haven for, a wide variety of wildlife with a natural pond fed by the stream. The gardens and grounds amount to circa five acres. The field is ideal for equestrian use and a bridleway, which links to mountain rides, is literally on the doorstep.

Whilst the other house is within close proximity, both properties are oriented so the principal rooms face away from each other and overlook open fields towards the mountains and countryside beyond.
There is a public footpath passing over the drive and through the paddock.
