The front of the property is bordered by a low level, painted brick wall and wooden gate giving access to the driveway and parking area. The enclosed, level front lawn is bisected by a stone path leading to the front door. To the rear is a large courtyard offering plenty of space for parking/hardstanding for numerous vehicles. An L-shaped range of outbuildings include a stable with store, a barn and garage which could, subject to any necessary planning consents, be used as workshops, studios, or perhaps, converted to ancillary accommodation to the house or a holiday let.
