Grounds & outbuildings
The property occupies a plot of approximately 0.32 acres, with beautifully maintained grounds wrapping the house and enjoying a southwest facing aspect to the rear.

The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped and are predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by established planting and mature hedging which provide privacy and create an attractive setting for the house. A particular highlight is the heated outdoor swimming pool, complemented by a dedicated pool house providing convenient changing facilities.
Annex
