Outside
The property itself occupies a secluded position on the edge of the village.
The grounds are a particular feature extending to, in excess of 2 acres, being approached via a long gravelled driveway leading through protected woodland to a turning area and carriage circle.
The gardens are principally laid to lawn with stunning views across undulating countryside to the west over the ha-ha, whilst being adjacent to pastureland with views of the Church to the north.
