The Annex & Converted Barn

Forming part of the converted barn, the self-contained annex is a highlight of the property. With a vaulted ceiling, kitchen area, shower room, and its own private access, it offers independence and flexibility—ideal for older children, guests, or short-term letting.
Beneath the annex, the original barn now houses a spacious garage and well-equipped workshop, accessible via timber gates from Eastfield. This building was once used to house horses and now offers huge practicality while retaining character.

Gardens & Outdoor Living

The gardens have been thoughtfully developed into private, productive spaces. To the front, a formal garden enclosed by walls and a thick holly hedge leads to the entrance via original flagstone paths. Behind the kitchen and utility wing lies a delightful fruit and cutting garden complete with fruit cage, raspberry canes, and a selection of trees—damson, greengage, pear, apple and fig tree.
The rear courtyard has been carefully landscaped with Indian sandstone paving, extending from the conservatory and kitchen doors to create a sunny outdoor ‘room’ for summer dining. There is an apple, fig and peach tree. Raised vegetable beds, high-quality Gabriel Ash greenhouse, and a purpose-built wood store and coal bunker complete this wonderfully functional and attractive space.
