The landscape planning allows for beautiful gardens and grounds to be created surrounding the house and taking full advantage of outstanding views of the South Oxfordshire countryside. Many of the existing mature trees are retained, providing the perfect setting and backdrop for this wonderful property.

      The remaining land is laid to pasture and in all the plot amounts to approximately 22.54 acres
