Beyond the gardens are the paddocks which extend to all sides of the property. The paddocks are level and laid to grass and are completely stock proofed and enclosed by a mature hedge, post and rail fencing and also offer excellent sheltered grazing with a deep buffer of mature trees from the lane and a further row of mature trees around the south west and north boundaries.

The Courtyard
The property wraps around a gravelled courtyard with access from the two inner halls and open plan kitchen which provide a sun trap.

Stabling, Outbuildings & Land

In addition, is a useful timber framed barn, a Dutch barn and a lean-to range of further timber framed buildings. There is considerable potential for other equestrian facilities if required, including ménage, riding school and stables, subject of course to any necessary consents/approvals. The paddocks extend to 5.5 acres and the whole approximately 9 acres.
