The formal grounds at Chatesgrove are delightful and well maintained and extend to just over 4 acres. The driveway is straddled by lawn, post and rail fencing and rhododendron bushes and sweeps up to the front of the house where there is ample parking for cars. Adjacent to the house is a large barn which has been converted into a fabulous entertaining area with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and wood burning stove. It has a fitted bar and is the ultimate space for relaxation or parties. An outdoor swimming pool occupies a secluded sunny spot just behind the barn. In addition, within the grounds there is a secret walled garden planted with rose bushes and more exotic plants. The remaining 4.7 acres of land is made up of a large field with a piggery.
