The grounds that surround the property are certainly another key factor which are predominantly level, screened by mature hedgerows and native trees and extending to two good size paddocks, the largest of which runs along the boundary of the property and would be perfect for those with equestrian interests. There is gated access leading into the stable yard area also enclosed with sturdy security gates and accessible directly onto the driveway. The secure gated driveway for the main house is certainly an impressive entrance statement with ornamental wrought iron gates opening to a gravelled area and paved parking forecourt at the front of the house.

A double garage joins the front of the house with a passageway to the rear leading to kennels or further storage.

The house is in good order, approached via a central hallway leading through to a generous and well appointed kitchen/family room with stainless steel appliances and granite work surfaces and a lovely view across the rear gardens. The house offers terrific flexibility, currently arranged as four first floor bedrooms with two smartly appointed bathrooms and there is a snug in addition to the large drawing room with wood burning stove, a home office and bonus games/party room linking through to the garage at the far end of the house. On the rear elevation of the house sits an exceptionally large conservatory providing a wonderful link with the grounds and a lovely place to sit and take in the views across the duck pond and gardens beyond.

The pair of annexed properties are mirror versions of each other and are presented in pristine order with an open and well fitted kitchen and living space leading through to a good size double bedroom with shower room and WC at the far end. Both properties are centrally heated and have been designed for easy and low maintenance.

Behind the annexe is a large storage barn with a secondary stone built barn alongside the paddock. An area of the first paddock has been divided as a productive kitchen garden with raised vegetable beds and is protected from wildlife by way of a substantial post and rail fence. The paddock area extends to a large expanse of lawn with a wonderful feature duckpond providing a captivating focal point to this area behind the property with large areas of gravelled terrace, decking and exceptionally large and attractive outdoor barbeque and dining area.
