The house is surrounded by established gardens with a large area of parking and driveway on one side of the house and a wonderful heated swimming pool on the south side of the property.
In addition to the house, there is a superb self-contained one bedroom cottage that would also lend itself to use as an office space or studio. To the rear of the cottage, the main reception room opens onto a raised west facing deck complete with an outdoor kitchen area and recessed hot tub, it's a fabulous entertaining area from which to enjoy the view.
The driveway sweeps past the house, a triple carport and the cottage to the field and a barn complete with stables. The field falls away from the house and buildings down to an enchanting area of mature woodland. There are no public footpaths that cross the property.

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
