Outside - The property is approached via a car port with electric gates. It gives access to the hugely private and secure front driveway where there is a double garage and courtyard garden. The gravelled drive is framed by abundantly planted raised beds and borders and sweeps alongside the length of the house providing a generous area for parking and turning. A paved terrace with an arbour, sheltered by a low curved wall, faces south providing an ideal outdoor space. The whole front area is encircled by an attractive high brick wall with coping stones that arcs around the western boundary.
The expansive rear garden sits behind the property. Accessed directly from the house, the elevated stone terrace and formal lawned garden are framed with ornamental trees and parkland railings edged with clipped box hedging. A flight of stone steps leads down through the retaining wall to the extensive area of lawn that descends gently from the house, an ideal area for family activities. The whole is part bounded by a high sculpted wall with coping stones on two sides of the property, hedging and a timber fence on the far boundary enabling uninterrupted panoramic views across the rolling hills, fields and pastures of the Wolds.
