GROUNDS

Standing in approximately 2.5 acres of land, Toll Bar Farm is beautifully proportioned and has delightful gardens and great paddock land. From the roadside there are two sets of automatically operated gates. The lower gate gives access to the lower drive which provides a large amount of parking and turning space and gives a gateway through to the land. Access is given directly courtesy of stone flags through to the entrance door and entrance hallway. The upper driveway is particularly large and provides a huge amount of parking and turning space. It provides a great amount of space for the equestrian usage and also gives access to the detached very large double garage.

DOUBLE GARAGE AND STORE (8.12m x 9.63m)

This is particularly stylish, has twin automatically operated up and over doors and is beautifully presented with painted floors, walls and ceiling. There is a huge number of lighting points and a window giving a spectacular view. There is also a personnel door out to the property’s gardens. At the rear of the garage there is a staircase that leads up to a very large store room which has potential to be used for a variety of different purposes. The garage is fitted with power, lighting and water.

GARDENS

As the photographs suggest, the property’s gardens are beautifully positioned to the rear of the home taking full advantage of the south-westerly location and particularly sunny aspect. The rear garden is superbly flagged and is fitted with a high specification gazebo with adjustable side shutters. The rear garden is enclosed by a combination of stone walling and timber fencing and gates give access through to the lower paddock. This lower paddock is principally down to grass and has the fabulous timber barn.

BARN (4.61m x 7.72m)

The timber barn is a beautiful additional storage building and is most attractive with twin doors to the front, two windows and personnel door to the side.

UPPER FIELD

This has twin gates out to the road way and is home for the property’s fantastic stable block. This, with stable yard before it enclosed by timber fencing, has three stables, all of which are of a particularly good size. The stables are fitted with power, light and water. The stables enjoy a super position, have windows to the rear with their back to the wind and enjoy a lovely view across the field and rural scene beyond.

TELEPHONE MAST

The property has the unusual feature of a telephone mast. This is appropriately placed some distance away from the house behind the garage and relatively near to the stable. The rental income for the telephone mast for which the property owns the land that it sits upon is approximately £1,200 per annum and the right of way given to the tenant for the telephone mast is purely through the upper field off the separate gate.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

It should be noted that the property has high specification double glazed windows of a particularly stylish nature, under floor heating throughout courtesy of air source. It should be noted that the village has no gas installed. Carpets curtains and certain other extras may be available by separate negotiation.
