The house is encircled by gardens and orchard, whilst just a few paces away to the north east is a lovely block of mature woodland, primarily Oak.
There is a generous gravelled approach yard, from which one may also gain access to the 23' garage/workshop.
The gardens have been planted over the years with a wide variety of shrubs and trees, the accompanying sketch plan showing the significant extent of that planting.
