Sitting within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the gardens and grounds are an important feature of Park Farm and form the most delightful and tranquil setting, complementing the house extremely well.

Park Farm has multiple large agricultural buildings which provide a number of opportunities for conversions and storage. The barns were previously used for hops and are currently used as farm machinery and grain storage.

The land at Park Farm extends to 120 acres and is predominantly down to arable. There are small copses of woodland across the farm extending to approximately 4 acres. Historically, the farm was used to grow hops but has recently reverted to grain farming.

Park Farm benefits from double-bank fishing rights on the River Teise. The farm is approached via a large electronically operated gate which opens to a large parking area.

Please note the property also benefits from superfast broadband.
