Garden, Grounds and Outbuildings
The property is approached through double wooden electric gates onto a private gravel driveway where there is parking for a number of vehicles, in addition to the single garage.
The gardens and grounds at Tuckingmill House have been carefully designed and complement the house perfectly. To one side of the house are the formal walled tiered gardens which are mainly laid to lawn with an entertaining terrace and hot tub. To the other side of the property lies a wilder space, with a small arboretum dotted with daffodils and spring flowers. It abuts the ‘Bathford Brook’ which is a charming stream, as well as the neighbouring woodland making it ideal for dog walks or hacking out. There is also a fully fenced paddock with post and rail ‘stock proof’ fencing. It is predominantly pasture land with some trees dotted throughout. There is an area of concrete base which was laid in order to construct a stable block, there was a historic approved planning application under 11/03606/REN.
There is a large, traditional barn, split into two sections. The first would make a great party barn with independent lighting and an open fireplace. The second is the former stable block used for general storage with a mezzanine level above. This could be converted subject to obtaining the necessary consents, approved planning application under 16/00856/FUL.
