DETACHED SINGLE GARAGE plus additional off road parking for trailer etc. .

The gardens and paddock, which total 1.3 acres, surround the property on all four sides of the property offering spectacular views across the adjoining paddock and surrounding forest. A brick paviour path leads across the northern side of the property to a lower section via steps, which in turn leads to a patio adjacent to the dining/breakfast room. Within this area there is an aluminium framed GREENHOUSE.

The path continues along the eastern side of the property where the principal area of lawn is located on a terraced basis adjacent to an external pergola with substantial wisteria providing shade and colour.

Within the garden there are a variety of flower shrubs, trees and bushes providing a spectacular array of colour throughout the seasons in addition to quite simply the finest elevated rural views within this part of the forest.

A picket gate gives access, on the south western corner of the garden, onto the lane and is well screened by an impressive magnolia. The paddock is accessed from the gardens via a five bar gate on the eastern boundary and can also be accessed, via the lane, in the south eastern corner, adjacent to a thatched rustic BARN and an adjoining open fronted PONY SHELTER. The boundaries of the paddock are well defined with post and wire fencing together with mature hedging.

To the rear of the utility room there is an external Grant oil fired boiler and oil tank.
