Outside

Wrought electric iron gates in a low brick wall with parkland railings give access to the tarmacadamed driveway, flanked either side by high hedges and broadleaf trees. The wall and railings continue around the grounds extending along two boundaries. The long drive leads to the house, garaging and outbuildings, forming a turning circle around a colourfully planted central bed and providing ample parking opportunities.

A range of outbuildings is situated around a large, paved area to the east of the house. There is a modern detached garage block with a clock tower that provides secure garaging for three vehicles and comes with a workshop and garden store. Alongside is a traditional, detached, brick outbuilding with timber doors providing additional garaging with a secure store behind. Both buildings have power and light. A separate building close to the house has been designed to accommodate a games room/gym with adjoining shower room.

Ornate wrought iron gates at either side of the house give access to the south-facing gardens at the rear. The gardens and parkland grounds are enclosed and extend to about four acres. They feature sweeping lawns surrounded by a band of well-established broadleaf trees. Abutting the house is a west-facing paved terrace with a gazebo, jacuzzi and pond. There are herbaceous borders, wildflower areas and a paddock along with a gravelled kitchen garden with raised beds, fruit bushes and two separate greenhouses.
