Outside
The gardens surrounding Whatmore Court are particularly attractive and amidst which the former courtyard has been sympathetically landscaped to create a most pleasant space ideal for seasonal al-fresco dining and entertaining, with paths, terraces and water features. The front gardens are mainly laid to lawn with some mature trees, well stocked herbaceous borders and shrubbery throughout and a pretty duck pond. Around the gardens are various garden stores and a green house. The property benefits from extensive cellarage accessed from an external door providing ample storage.
Outbuildings
Attached to the house is a useful workshop/garden store and boiler room with mezzanine storage. Overlooking the courtyard gardens with access off the separate farm drive are two traditional brick ranges including a garage with open fronted garden store and dog kennelling on one side and a block of stabling with a shoot room and storage and a craft workshop extension on the other with a brick Wainhouse beyond. The steel framed farm buildings are approached off the farm drive and include a Mifflin cattle shed (60’ x 60’) with raised central feed passage, a J Ruck fodder barn (60’ x 45’) and attached to the rear of the stable block is a lean-to extension forming grain and implement storage.
The Land
Lot 1 includes two useful grazing fields which both have access from the farm drive. Adjoining the grassland to the north is a belt of woodland with a stream feeding into a duck pool and flowing on down to join the Padgebrook. A 15m domestic wind turbine (currently out of use) adjoins the farmstead to the north.
