Self-contained Annexe
The rooms in the servants’ wing have been used by the vendors to create a self-contained annexe for extended family in the past. The annexe has private access via the side door into a hall which has a door to the annexe kitchen which has a range of units, a sink and drainer, a dresser unit, space for a table and chairs, and space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer.

An understairs cupboard houses the water tank. The former servants’ staircase leads up to two interconnected rooms on the first floor.

Gardens and Grounds
The property is set back from the road, screened by mature trees and hedges, with double five bar gates opening to a gravelled drive which provides extensive parking. Gates on either side of the house lead to the rear garden. Double gates on one side open to a further gravelled area which has space for additional parking if required. On the other side there are five bar gates to a block paved area with access to the side door to the annexe and to the workshop.
The rear garden faces south east and is enclosed by a combination of brick walls and close boarded fencing. There is a paved patio outside the breakfast, drawing and dining rooms, with space for seating and a table and chairs for al fresco dining and entertaining.
