An outdoor heated swimming pool adds a further lifestyle element, creating a private space for relaxation and entertaining during the warmer months. The grounds also offer scope for further landscaping or amenity use, allowing incoming owners to tailor the setting to their own vision.

A comprehensive range of outbuildings significantly enhances the offering. These include a garage, workshop and multiple storage areas, alongside several detached sheds and ancillary buildings. In total, the outbuildings extend to approximately 1,029 sq ft, providing excellent opportunities for storage, workshops, studios or potential conversion for business or ancillary use (stpp).
