The house is approached via a pair of drives centred by an island planted with mature roses at the front of the house. The stone and brickbuilt stable block, garden workshop, double (with electric vehicle charging point) and single garages are set to one side of the drive. Beneath the upper annexe area, there is a further double garage with access to the lower annexe and further basement areas to the rear. The boiler room, freezer room and cellar are set within the basement of the house together with further areas for oil and water storage.
The wonderful landscaped gardens and grounds are principally to the south and take full advantage of the beautiful valley setting. The inner garden has been landscaped with sweeping areas of lawn set between banks of flowering shrubs, herbaceous borders, specimen trees, acer and a 'box garden' together with a central urn. A broad paved terrace provides an ideal area for outdoor entertaining and adjoins the vinery and kitchen/dining room.
Steps lead from the terrace to a higher level with areas of lawn, orchard and extensive kitchen garden together with a gardeners store and greenhouse. A track provides access to a small lane. From the higher level, there are charming views of the east side of the house. The hard tennis court is set beyond the kitchen garden. One branch of the driveway is flanked by light woodland with gate access to a paddock with an adjoining copse. A second larger paddock (with a field shelter) adjoins a small copse. The third paddock, sheltered by a steep wooded bank, is set to the opposite side of the lane. The gardens and grounds are a very special feature of the house and provide a sublime setting.
The property has a sheltered position on a gentle, south-facing slope within the South Downs National Park. South Hay is peaceful and picturesque hamlet set amidst fine rolling countryside about a mile or so distant of the villages of Binsted and Kingsley. The active and strong hilltop village of Binsted (about a mile) has a public house - 'The Binsted Inn' - church, hall, primary school and recreation ground with tennis and croquet clubs.

The historic market towns of Alton and Farnham have a good range of high street shops, Waitrose and M&S Simply Food, weekly and specialist markets, schooling for all age groups and railway stations to London Waterloo. There is a good range of maintained and independent schools and colleges within the local area.
