Externally, the property continues to impress. The main approach to the home is from the rear, where there is ample parking, along with a useful Storeroom and a Garage. One of the standout features of Loxbrook Farm is its beautifully established gardens, predominantly laid to lawn and planted with a wide variety of mature shrubs, trees and flowering borders that provide colour and interest throughout the seasons. The gardens flow seamlessly into an attractive six-acre field, offering excellent potential for equestrian use, smallholding activities, or simply as a peaceful expanse of private land to enjoy.
