Agent's note: The vendor has entered into an arrangement with a company who have planted cricket bat willow trees along the driveway. It is understood that the company take responsibility for maintenance etc. and after 16 years, the trees will be removed and the new owner will be entitled to a payment. This can be discussed further with the agent/vendor.
A neighbouring property has a right of way over the gravelled driveway which does fall within this property's ownership. An area to the front of the driveway is owned by highways.
This property has 1.6 acres of land.
Set within 1.6 acres of extensive gardens and grounds, Botany Farm House is approached via a gravelled driveway offering a substantial parking area for several cars with access provided to the double timber frame cartlodge and a garage with gardener's loo.
There are gardens to the front and rear which are beautifully laid-to-lawn and contain two ponds, interspersed with an abundance of mature trees.
A newly-landscaped sandstone terrace runs the entire length of the house, and offers a wonderful spot in which to dine al fresco, entertain or watch the world go by. To the side of this is a further paved area with storage and under-cover bar area. A freestanding outbuilding sits away from the house within the gardens positioned to best enjoy the view across the neighbouring field, which is currently used as a home office, but would also make a useful gym.
