Outside
The property is approached through two sets of electric, double gates via an intercom system. The paved driveway leads up to the front of the house passing the detached triple garage with three single up and over electric doors with studio above. This building is remarkably flexible and could be used as a home office/annexe as there is even potential to convert, subject to the necessary consents being obtained. The mature gardens lead away from the house and are a particular feature of the property. They are beautifully maintained with a fine selection of mature specimen trees, shrubs and borders with established planting and hedges, offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with circular paved beds in the centre of the lawn with both sweet and horse chestnut trees. A wide terrace runs along the rear of the property, perfect for al fresco dining.
