The property is approached through a timber gate along a drive to an ample turning and parking area with a brick built double garage with a substantial timber storage area to the rear. A shed with power and light creates an ideal place for a gym or hobby room. Another timber shed provides additional storage with meandering paths to the ancient woodland area.
