The property, which is set in 9.25 acres, is approached from the quiet country lane through remote controlled iron double gates which open onto a sweeping driveway leading across the parkland setting.
There is also a stable yard with three loose boxes, associated stores and a tack room with direct access onto fenced paddocks. From the front gate there is almost immediate access to off-road hacking and a good network of bridlepaths.
The house is surrounded by established parkland grounds including two ponds, a tennis court (which requires some maintenance) and there is also an area which would be a good spot for a swimming pool.
