Outside the property is approached via a pair of oak six bar timber gates that lead onto a generous block paviour driveway providing ample off-road parking for several cars plus a further gravel parking area and a flag-stone walkway to the front door. At the rear of the drive, wrought iron gates lead through to two open fronted covered storage bays, a further building housing gardener's WC and workshop, wash down pad, two timber garden sheds, further parking/hard standing and a large steel framed barn with electric roller shutter doors at either end and a security personal door, power, light and alarm system. Formal gardens wrap around three sides of the property being mainly laid to lawn with mature borders including an array of rhododendron and an ornamental pond. There are various specimen trees including walnut and oak. A stone walkway runs around the house and there is a sun terrace at the rear. A chestnut post and rail fence separates the formal gardens from the area of parkland, which is predominantly grass bordered by mature trees.
