Outside
Dernford Barn is approached via a long front driveway, passing its own meadow with a right of way leading to the rear driveway. Both drives lead into a gravel courtyard with ample parking and turning space. The adjacent detached double garage has an up and over door and a roller door, power connected. Nearby is an elevated seating area, perfect for a gin & tonic.

To the rear of the property is a storage room which is accessed via a back door and leads into the rear garden which leads around to an area of orchard with apple, plum and cherry trees as well as a pond. Beyond is the meadow which has a couple of mature Douglas fir trees and there are a variety of other trees including maple, Persian ironwood, Judas tree and silver birch.
