Outside

Abbotswood is quietly situated within some of the most beautiful private gardens in the area, extending to approximately 28.5 acres and offering a varied landscape of landscaped formal grounds, managed woodland, orchards, kitchen gardens and parkland. The grounds have been beautifully maintained and offer a serene escape, with many areas to sit and take in the exceptionally secluded views.
The house is approached via a private lane, sweeping over a cattle grid to a generous parking area to the front of the house which can accommodate a good number of cars. Garaging is provided for four cars within an attached garage, with a useful workshop, and there is a further parking area to the rear of the garages.
The inviting first impression is continued around the house, where formal planting surrounds the property including established abundant borders stocked with a wide variety of shrubs. Of particular note is the pergola to the south side of the house, which offers a wisteria clad walkway through the lawns to an impressive water feature.
At the rear of the house is a productive orchard in addition to a kitchen garden and a number of former glasshouses. The formal gardens are backed by woodland of numerous specimen trees, creating a wonderfully private natural boundary. Within the grounds is a swimming pool, tennis court and a pool house with changing facilities. The pool, tennis court and the nearby buildings are in need of refurbishment.
