Knights Close is approached via smart wooden electric gates and a gravel driveway leads to a large parking area in front of the garage. The gardens and grounds are mature in their setting and the house enjoys a wonderful south westerly outlook. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with a number of mature herbaceous and mixed borders surrounding the house providing a pretty backdrop to the house itself, and there are several fine specimen trees and mature rhododendrons which create a very pleasant green environment. There is a fabulous westfacing terrace which houses an impressive pizza oven. An astroturf tennis court is situated to one side of the garden.
