A charming paved terrace spans part of the property and features a timber framed pergola, providing excellent areas for al fresco entertaining.
The grounds extend to the south to an excellent vegetable garden with raised beds and continue into pastureland beyond post and rail fencing, where there is an open fronted barn/field shelter, providing an excellent opportunity to be utilised for equestrian purposes or the grazing of livestock.
