Outside
From the lane in which the house is situated a gated driveway opens to reveal the house which is fronted with a large driveway which gives access to the four bay garage and ample space in which to park cars. The immediate sense is one of complete openness, enhanced by the orientation of the house within its plot which extends to c0.64 acres of beautiful level lawns. The broader scene is stunning, open countryside is the backdrop at every angle which is a fundamental element to the overall feel of the properties.

Of worthy note, planning was granted, but has since lapsed, to convert the garages into a single storey dwelling if a prospective owner required.
