Maypole House is approached via a short gravel driveway that leads to a wide turning circle in front of the house. The turning circle incorporates plentiful parking with a side spur to the integral double garage. The garden extends out on both sides and around behind the house and is bound by mature hedging with an area of woodland behind. To one side of the parking area is a mixed orchard of dwarf fruit trees. This gives way to an extensive lawn with a deep border in the shape of a spiral measuring about 70ft across at its widest point and richly planted with Spring bulbs and herbaceous perennials providing a palette of colour throughout the growing season. The more formal part of the garden extends along behind the house and is bound behind by a long, tall hornbeam hedge. It consists of a series of four lawns separated by lengths of low beech hedging and clipped box centred around two rectangular ornamental pond, one with a sitting island at its centre and set against a line of gently curving, pleached hornbeams . Fringing the back of the house is a paved terrace with two ornamental Manchurian pear trees standing sentinel. The terrace is a perfect size for entertaining in fine weather with ample space for separate seating and dining areas and immediate access to the house via a short flight of timber steps.

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
