Outside - Little Hogstow is set in spectacular gardens, grounds and woodland extending to approximately 1.6 acres with well stocked beds and borders, providing a most beautiful setting. The gardens of Little Hogstow have been managed as a wildlife haven for the past 24years. As well as a large pond with dragonflies, the lawns have been managed as hay meadows and now support an increasing number of common spotted orchids. There are several water butts and compost bins, two wood stores, a well, a cedar greenhouse and mature fruit orchard with plum, damson, pear, walnut and a variety of apple trees.

The detached double garage potentially has the benefit of a self contained annex that could be used for guests or as a holiday let as it offers a small kitchenette, WC and stairs leading to the first floor where there are two rooms.
