Outside

The property is accessed via a shared driveway and has ample parking for several vehicles. The patio area at the front of the house overlooks a well-maintained area of lawn as well as the outstanding Grade II* New Place with its walled garden. Across the driveway is a further beautiful garden area with a yew hedge 'garden room', lawns and well-stocked border flowerbeds as well as established trees and border hedgerows.

The area has a beautiful detached oak framed outbuilding (composed of two conjoined buildings with 70 sqm internal space) that currently house an art studio and a games room. The building has obvious potential for conversion to a family annexe or for income generation. Additionally there is a large wooden garden storeroom/greenhouse.
