Outside
The property is approached through a wooden five bar gate and leads to an extensive gravel driveway with parking for numerous vehicles. This also leads to secure parking in both the barn and double garage. Set within mature and well-established grounds extending to about 1.3 acres. The gardens are attractively planted with a variety of trees, shrubs and borders, creating a peaceful and private setting. Towards the far boundary lies a selection of fruit trees.
There are far-reaching views across open countryside to the side and rear, enhancing the property’s rural appeal.
Adjacent to the main house stands a substantial and attractive brick and flint barn, constructed around 1990. The building is well maintained and features a vaulted interior extending to approximately 30 feet in length, with stairs rising to a mezzanine level.
The barn offers considerable flexibility and potential for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary consents. A large conservatory adjoins, providing an excellent space to relax while enjoying delightful views across the gardens. This was formerly a swimming pool and so perhaps would be the perfect space to re-incorporate one should a buyer prefer.
Further outbuildings include a double garage/workshop with power and lighting, and twin sets of double doors, offering additional parking, storage or hobby space.
