There are four further double bedrooms; 2 being dual aspect and three with built-in storage, and two family bathrooms, one with separate shower.
The detached cottage, which is on a separate Title to the main house, was built at the same time as Okelands and extended in the 1980’s. There are two double bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor, and two reception rooms, kitchen and cloakroom on the ground floor, and private garden.
Okelands is approached over a sweeping gravel drive with lawned turning circle, providing parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to a garage, and adjacent outbuildings; including a second garage. The main outbuilding has seven rooms, including workshop, tractor stores and apple store with the original storage racks. The gardens surrounding the property are delightful, being mainly laid to level lawn interspersed with mature shrubs and specimen trees. The original sunken garden is complimented by numerous seating areas and paved terraces ideal for outside entertaining. In addition to the formal garden there are areas of wild flower meadow, orchard with apple pear and mulberry tree, and vegetable garden and an enclosed tennis court. Completing this country idyll is the stock-fenced paddock with timber stable block and hardstanding, in all just under 7.5 acres
