Outside, the gardens are a haven of peace and privacy, with sweeping lawns, mature trees, and plenty of space for children to play or to create your dream outdoor entertaining area. Imagine summer evenings on the terrace watching the sunset.

Adding to the appeal is a substantial, over 2,300 Sq. ft, non-listed barn, brimming with potential. Whether you dream of a stunning annexe, a home office, or a creative studio, the possibilities are endless (subject to planning).
