A shingle drive sweeps around one side of the house from the gated entrance, with outside lighting, leading around to an extensive parking and turning area, with a courtyard entrance giving access into the house. There is a large detached five car garage block with office/studio above, having its own shower room and heating, with a separate entrance via an outside staircase, offering the potential for further secondary accommodation if desired, subject to planning and any necessary additional consents. Indeed, this whole large structure might be suitable for a secondary cottage with attached garage, if desired and subject to planning permission.
To the side, an all-weather tennis court is shielded from the house by tall hedging. To the front, accessed from the kitchen, there is a semi-circular patio entertaining area, paved with York Stone, with a boxed hedge border and a small roof, overhanging from the house and providing some shade. This area has outside lighting and fitted music speakers. Beyond is a delightful, level lawn garden with hedging and trees to the boundary and an extensive mature planted area which shields a discreet swimming pool.
The fields and garden surround the house on all sides providing excellent seclusion and distance from neighbours. A public footpath crosses the lower field at the extremity of the plot. This recently been re-routed to ensure a suitable distance from the house to provide privacy.
