The grounds extend to approximately 3.6 acres and the property is accessed via a pair of electric gates, in turn leading to an extensive driveway and a pair of triple bay garages with electric up and over doors, power and lighting connected and one with a full size vehicle inspection pit. Above one of the garages is a games room which offers a multitude of uses, including scope for a substantial annexe (subject to needs and relevant approval).
The grounds, designed by Notcutts, have been meticulously maintained over a number of years and are mainly laid to lawn with a number of mature trees, shrubs and bushes and a separate access point via a five bar gate. To the rear of the property is a paved terrace, ideal for al fresco entertaining, together with a heated swimming pool with automated cover and high quality summerhouse/pool house with WC/changing room. There are stunning gardens to the rear, enjoying a significant number of mature trees and a greenhouse.

Equestrian Potential - The grounds offer huge potential for an equestrian set-up. Currently there is a separate five bar gate providing access (including vehicular) to the rear garden which could provide a stunning paddock. In addition is a high quality building with electricity connected, currently incorporating x2 large stables and an oversize hay barn. The building has been designed to be easily enlarged (subject to relevant approval).

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 7, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 7, 2022

    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
