Annexe
The annexe is a detached building with timber elevations which is located behind the main house. It was originally converted for use as offices for a business run from the property, but the vendors currently use as a self-contained annexe for guests, as well as games room, office/music room and gym for teenagers to chill and entertain their friends. It would be suitable for a multi generational family who want to live together while maintaining some independence. It has electric heating. Business use planning permission is still in place should purchasers wish to revert to using the building to run a business from home. It would also be possible to provide any business with a separate parking area for staff and clients. A side access from the road leads behind the house and annexe to a walled parking area next to the annexe building which could be used to keep staff and client vehicles for any business using the building separate from the parking for the house.

Annexe Cont'd
Double doors from the main parking area lead into a kitchen/dining room which has a slate floor, a range of units, a sink, and a dishwasher, oven and fridge.

On the other side of the kitchen/dining room there are steps up to a small hall with access to a shower room with a shower cubicle, a WC and vanity storage with a wash basin over. The annexe also has three reception rooms including a sitting room which measures 48 ft. 9 by 16 ft. and has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a Velux window, and windows and doors to the drive. This was originally a communal office and has numerous power points. There is also an office and a dual aspect games room/gym which has a vaulted ceiling with exposed A frames and double doors to a paved seating area and the drive.

Outbuildings
There is a 23 ft. storage barn attached to the annexe, and a further barn, on the opposite side of the parking area from the annexe, which measures over 59 ft by just under 19ft. It is currently used for storage but could be converted into additional accommodation if required and subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. There is also another outbuilding in the rear garden which comprises a storage barn and an over 33ft open fronted barn which is currently used to store garden furniture and provides a sheltered seating area for outside entertaining.

Gardens and Grounds
The property has just over 2 acres of gardens and grounds which wraparound the house and are divided into separate areas, bordered by hedges, with gates and openings linking them and established trees and shrubs including Sycamore, Chestnut and Ash trees. Five bar gates open to the main drive which leads to a parking area in front of the house and continues round the side of the house to a larger parking area between the house and outbuildings. This area has a turning circle and provides extensive parking. Beyond the parking area there are grassed areas, divided by post and rail fencing, with a natural pond and far reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The lawns continue in front of the main house with swathes of spring bulbs and mature trees interspersed.

Openings lead to a lawned orchard area with apple and pear trees and there is also a vegetable garden screened by hedges and with raised beds. The rear garden, outside the family room, faces south west and is surrounded by fencing and screened by established trees and shrubs including hawthorn, wisteria, and plums. There is an extensive paved terrace spanning the rear of the house for outside dining and entertaining and a further paved area at the bottom of the garden by the open fronted barn.
