The current owners have imaginatively converted one of the outbuildings into an indoor swimming pool with a large changing room and studio and also converted the attic in the main house into additional accommodation.
The property is approached from the village down a drive which runs onto a gravelled forecourt with ample car parking and turning areas. This extends past the front of the house to the outbuildings. Either side of the drive are small paddocks with post and rail fencing, flanked by a variety of trees including silver birch. To the right of the drive there is a lawned area with colourful flower and shrub borders with a stone wall separating the garden from the outbuildings.
The rear garden is accessed from both the drawing room and the conservatory with a stone terrace which extends the full width of the rear façade; steps lead down to the landscaped gardens bordered on one side by a large flower and shrub border with beech hedging. Beyond this is a further area of lawn extending down to a lightly wooded area with a lake and a central island and a smaller pond, both flanked by a wide variety of flowering and ornamental shrubs. The owners have carried out extensive planting with fine specimen trees. To the west of the house there is an attractive stone terrace with a rose clad pergola, adjoining which is a further terrace with a sunken seated area.
There is a brick and part boarded cottage under a clay tiled roof. Please see floorplans.
Land and Outbuildings
The land extends to approximately 40 acres and lies to the north, east and west of the property. The land is all fenced, the majority with post and rail and has water connected; to the west of the property there is a plantation with a wide variety of specimen hardwood trees and elsewhere a small apple orchard. There is an extensive range of outbuildings, both period and modern. These include three large barns suitable for a variety of uses, a former slate and brick building has been converted into an indoor swimming pool with an adjoining reception room and studio. Alongside this is a further outbuilding with four loose boxes, a tack room and a full size manege.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
