Outside
Lower Farmhouse is approached from the lane via attractive wrought iron gates and entry phone system. These open to a gravel driveway passing to the side of the sweeping lawns at the front of the property and on to a large parking area and the wonderful stone coach house with clock tower which is still in its original form. It comprises a coach house, two stables, wine store and wood store.

To the rear the beautiful formal gardens are private and have flower beds planted with a variety of shrubs, perennial plants and mature specimen trees. There is a stone terrace running along the back of the house overlooking the gardens which are laid mainly to lawn with a central pathway. The path leads to a secluded area where there is a swimming pool (requires updating) and Summer house which has electricity and heating. Beyond the garden is a large paddock amounting to about 5.43 acres which has access from the A4074 and from the garden. To the right hand side of the house there is a vegetable garden and a greenhouse. To the front is a further 5.19 acre paddock which runs down to the river Thames where there is 104.5 feet of frontage.
