Outside

The property is approached via a pair of electric gates on to a sweeping True Grip resin bonded driveway, on to parking and turning areas in front of the house and garaging. The lovely, landscaped gardens have been created to reflect traditional English country garden design with some classical influences included, such as low retaining, dry stone walls, wide terracing that surrounds the house - ideal for outdoor entertaining and for fully appreciating the views, as is a charming shepherd’s hut – and herbaceous borders. A barbeque area also has a built-in pizza oven and there is a second terrace with a pergola over, covered with vines. Lawns are expansive and very well-maintained with a series of fruit trees and a Culvitar greenhouse. The paddocks have post and wire fencing and have been left as natural meadow. The detached oak framed garaging includes a car port area to one side and an external stairs leads to a guest suite. Elsewhere a large, detached barn, that can be used as a games room/entertaining suite or gym etc, has been finished to a residential standard to include a shower room, has a flagstone floor and oak joinery as well as a galleried area and feature staircase.
