Behind the stone boundary wall you will find areas of lawn bordering the drive one of which contains an old millstone and press, a reminder of the barn's former life.
The principal garden is found to the rear and one side. Adjacent to the barn at the rear is an attractive south westerly facing flagstone terrace, accessed off both the Drawing Room and Garden Room, making it a perfect place to dine or entertain outside, with a hot tub set on a further raised terrace. You will also find a GREENHOUSE well positioned to soak up the sun. From here dressed stone steps lead you up on to the large expanse of lawn, interspersed with mature trees giving a parkland style feel.
To the rear of the plot
is a timber 'love seat' which is in a lovely spot to enjoy the peaceful surrounds. As the lawn wraps back around the side of the property you will find the GYMNASIUM converted from the old stables, with a vaulted ceiling, this could be used equally well as a home office or studio. Adjacent to the gymnasium is the OIL STORAGE TANK. The property has been fitted with SOLAR PANELS used to heat the domestic water.
