OUTSIDE
The property is set at the end of a private drive with electric gates opening onto a large gravelled parking and turning area. Brick-paved pathways lead up to the front door and beyond to a very pretty original gazebo. The front gardens are extensive and predominantly laid to lawn whilst being bordered by mature shrubs and trees.
Continuing past the property, the gravel leads to a fully gated area to the rear providing further parking or storage with a great undercover area with access into the outbuilding - currently used as a Studio/Home Office. However, this whole area (subject to the necessary consents) could provide an annexe.
Gated access then opens onto a lovely rear courtyard with a pretty seating area, a gravelled area and a decked area. Continuing past the house, a further gravel and concrete drive leads to an additional parking and storage area, with access to a large garage/workshop with roller door.
Beyond this, are the main grounds which are quite extensive and predominantly laid to lawn with a lovely pretty woodland area with fruit trees. Further open-fronted Linhay storage.
In total, the property extends to approximately 1.6 acres.
