Church Farm House is the last house on a no through lane leading to the church which can be glimpsed from the garden. Wooden gates open into a shingle driveway providing an extensive parking area. The house is set in delightful gardens and grounds of approximately 9.5 acres, which extend around the church and churchyard. They include a natural spring which rises on the southern side and feeds into a freshwater swimming pool and series of ponds. At the rear of the house is a terrace and barbecue area perfect for summer entertaining overlooking undulating lawns with a variety of shrubs and a backdrop of mature trees. A good size timber cabin, ideal for use as a home office or playroom, enjoys glorious views across the garden. Adjacent to the freshwater pool is a brick building with wood fired sauna. Beyond the garden is a secluded swimming pool with paved surround, plus a large, detached Barn/Outbuilding formerly the milking parlour, currently arranged as several store rooms, one housing the pool filtration equipment, plus stabling, a tack room, and an open ‘party barn'. Beyond are three excellent paddocks, two areas of established woodland, and a separate access from the rear.

N.B. There are two public footpaths, one through the woodland from the church, and one around and across the paddock, although we are advised they are rarely used.
