Outside
The house enjoys a commanding elevated position overlooking the gardens and the countryside beyond. The gardens have been landscaped to create well-established flowerbeds bisected by paths, providing a restful space to walk and enjoy the outside in privacy. The lawns are adjacent to an area of old growth woodland, which provides natural seclusion and includes a mix of beech, silver birch, walnut and cedar. There is also a small lake which conceals the ground source heat pump. The property is approached via a private gated gravelled driveway opening to a pleasant courtyard where there is ample parking.
