Situated at the end of a quiet no-through lane, access to the property is via tall wooden gates leading onto a large gravel parking area with a further access via a wooden five-bar gate mid-way along Kites Farm Lane. The property enjoys approximately seven acres of gardens, grounds and paddock land that wrap around three sides of the home offering a large degree of privacy and far reaching uninterrupted south westerly views across the open countryside and towards Bath and Bristol.

There are gravel and paved areas allowing access all around the property and a large stone-built garden store. A range of traditional stone built barns situated adjacent to the house are currently arranged as stables with storage, an open bay and tack room although would be well suited to converting into ancillary accommodation (subject to the listed consent being obtained). The paddocks are mainly to one side of the property with twin access via five-bar gates, stock-proof hedging and post and rail fencing. There is a further stone-built barn located in the field, which gently slope down and away from the home.
