OUTSIDE

There is an open curtilage at the front and the house itself is set back from the road a little way by a larger pavement.  Double gates lead to a spacious flagged passageway between the house and the outbuildings that leads under a decked area and to some of the first floor accommodation.  Stairs provide access to the deck that can also be accessed via a French window on the first floor landing.  A door provides access to the cart house which can also be accessed via double doors from the front.  There is a building behind with a mezzanine first floor and a utility room and then a further building beyond  which was the former stable and retains its old partition.  At the very least the buildings provide useful storage, but they may also represent a development opportunity (subject to necessary permissions).

There is a sunken Yorkstone paved spacious patio immediately to the rear of the house.  The rear gardens lead on from there rising gradually and leading north from the house.  They are largely lawned with trees and shrubs, a greenhouse and old pigsty.
