Coopers Close is approached from the road via a gravel drive sweeping past the superb, thatched barn. This impressive structure welcomes you as you approach the property and then go around to the gated entrance which opens to the gravel parking area to the front of the open bay detached garage block. The unconverted barn is an open, vaulted space showing the full structure of beams to full ceiling height. It has power and light and is currently used as a party barn/games room. There is a portion sectioned off and accessed from the exterior that is used as a wine cellar. The front of the main house is accessed via a pedestrian gate opening to a pretty path, edged with a lavender parterre garden and leading to the front door.

To the rear of the house, accessed from the family room, drawing room and kitchen is a sunny paved terrace providing lots of opportunities for entertaining and enjoying the lovely view over the gardens and grounds. The garden is laid mainly to lawn edged with stunning flower borders planted with a variety of perennials, climbers and shrubs. The property is private benefitting from mature hedging to all boundaries. Beyond the garden are fenced grounds and paddocks overlooking open countryside.
