The gardens are a particularly appealing feature containing areas of lawn, a westerly facing raised decked area overlooking unspoilt fields and countryside, that captures the evening sun and is perfect for entertaining.
The house itself is surrounded by mature gardens, mainly lawned and with a host of planted beds and natural boundaries. There is a timber garden shed and further large timber outbuilding beyond which is an orchard with numerous soft fruit trees and an abundance of wild flowers.
There are numerous sitting areas dotted around the garden from which the lovely aspects can be enjoyed and, with there being no immediate neighbours, there is a high level of visual privacy.
