Outside

To the front the property is approached off Mill Hill via a gravelled lane leading up to the property and there is a block paved driveway in front of the garage providing parking for up to six vehicles. Pathway leading to the front entrance door, opposite there is a 5-bar timber gate opening through into the paddock. An open, naturalistic green space with several mature trees and a young, modest orchard. A clunch wall towards the back of the paddock with further covering mature trees, timber storage shed and secluded composting area. This beautiful outdoor setting is highly versatile, ideal for outdoor celebrations and dining as well as for children to safely enjoy.

To the rear of the property, in contrast to the paddock, is a most expertly created, landscaped garden. Mature and well-crafted hedging of beech, laurel, cornus, indigenous mix hedging and fanned trained apple trees provide carefully thought-out sections of the garden, each with a distinct feel and theme. Joined up by a winding, purple slate path, pergola and arbour the garden comprises, contemporary cottage style planting with embedded, natural bog filtered koi pond, formal, including topiaried yew, woodland with small natural pond and enclosed seating area and an incidental rose bed. The entire garden is strategically dotted by colourful, mature trees and shrubs, providing a fluid, calming garden experience. The extensive patio area provides a wonderful space to both relax and entertain and is accessed off the afore mentioned rooms allowing for seamless transition between inside and out.

To the other side of the garden and accessed via a side gate is the extensive range of outbuildings but before and in front is the oil tank. The first timber door provides access to the garage which can also be accessed via the up and over door to the front, fitted with power and lighting. Behind the garage is a large timber shed the first part of which has been divided into a workshop again fitted with power and lighting, window to the front and the second half has been tastefully improved, plastered, and with engineered oak flooring, fitted with power and lighting and provides a wonderful Garden Office/studio space with internet connection, stable door, with double glazed windows to both front and side aspect. Behind the timber shed is a working area of the garden which has been cleverly screened by high timber fencing from the main area laid to hardstanding with a greenhouse surrounded by mature trees and finally a large potting shed fitted with power and lighting.
