The property has been designed to an exacting standard and has the hallmarks of a premium quality build. It is in unfinished condition providing buyers with the opportunity of completing the project in their own style, tailoring it to their own specific requirements.

The gardens and grounds extend to all sides of the house and are bounded in part by an attractive high sandstone wall. There is a tennis court to one side and to the other a former outbuilding which may offer potential as a pool house or outside kitchen.

The site extends to about 2 acres.
