Outside
The drive is some 500 metres in length and leads past a neighbouring detached property and pond to a five-bar gate.  Here a private gravelled parking and turning area alongside the entrance of Sutton Barn provides ample room for multiple vehicles.  On the eastern boundary of the property, a gate opens to a further, secure tarmacadamed area in front of the single garage also giving access to the rear entrance of the house.  The four sides of the house enclose a large central courtyard garden ‘room’ of paved terraces and lawn.

The gardens and grounds wrap around the house but lie predominantly to the west with a well wooded area to the northern boundary and an orchard close to the house. There are herbaceous borders with areas of paving for sitting out and enjoying the view.  Large expanses of lawn are scattered with mature shrubs and trees of multiple variety, numbering in their hundreds. The whole is bounded by timber fencing with some beech hedging, and there are views across arable farmland to three sides.
