Outside

A rich tapestry of established trees adds to the natural beauty, including majestic oaks, evergreen yews, holly, and a charming old mulberry, providing year-round structure and shade. A delightful orchard area lies tucked away within the grounds, home to flourishing apple and pear trees, offering both visual appeal and a seasonal harvest.
To the rear of the property, a sun-soaked swimming pool provides the perfect spot for leisure and relaxation, accompanied by a detached pool house complete with a shower and WC, making it ideal for summer entertaining or quiet family enjoyment.
