There is an additional stable yard in need of repair with 14 stables, tack room and hay store.
Beyond is a recently resurfaced 20x40m fenced sand arena and a round pen.
There are a number of fenced paddocks, all accessed via a central track and with water. To the rear of the land is a lake.
A long private driveway passes two fenced paddocks and leads to a large parking area to the rear of the house. There is also parking at the front of the property, and formal gardens to the front and the side with large areas of lawn and a brick pergola/sun terrace for outside entertaining. The driveway continues to a large newly installed area of floodlit hard standing with parking for lorries if required.
