Outside The grounds are among the most attractive and intriguing components of the property, initially accessed via an 'in and out' horseshoe driveway guarded by double red gates on either side, capped with a spear shaped design (interestingly the iron gates and fencing are understood to have been made from iron from Windsor Castle). The driveway extends across the front elevation of the property before arriving at the parking area providing off-road parking for a number of vehicles and vehicular access to garaging. Adjacent to the garaging there is a substantial stable block, currently used for storage with a large first floor hay loft, currently utilised as storage but may be ripe for conversion in to ancillary accommodation in due course and subject to obtaining the relevant consents. Opposite this is a large store with attractive flint elevations with power and light connected. To the rear of this is a stunning walled garden, currently home to a number of raised beds with specimen trees and shrubs with gated access leading to the meadow at the rear of the property. Finally, the rear gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with a large shingle terrace immediately abutting the rear of the property, ideal for outside dining and entertaining. The boundaries are clearly defined by a combination of brick and flint walls to both sides. There is a further terrace upon which the orangery is situated, providing views of the rear elevation of the property and formal lawn beyond.

In all about 0.79 acres.
