Under the attentive care of the current owner, Buddlemead has undergone a series of enhancements, such as replacement windows, refurbished en suite shower rooms, and tasteful redecoration. Approached via a cattle grid, the property welcomes residents with a curving driveway that leads to the front of the house, passing a covered carport along the way. Continuing to the detached single garage, an adjacent area of concrete hard standing provides additional parking space.

A charming gravelled “winter” garden awaits on one side, while the other features a gently sloping lawn adorned with shrub bushes. The front of the house boasts a raised, west-facing terrace, an ideal vantage point for appreciating the captivating views.
Access to the rear gardens can be obtained from either side of the house, with the majority of the grounds comprising a gracefully sloping lawn.

Towards the upper tier of the garden lies a partially planted former vineyard which has previously been used to produce wine. Beyond, in the upper corner, a gate grants direct entry to the open expanse of Gorley Common.
Adjacent to the house, a block-built outhouse with power and light connections provides versatile storage options. Additionally, a greenhouse and timber garden shed cater to the gardening enthusiasts’ needs.
