Despite its age, the house has comfortably vaulted ceilings and plenty of windows enjoying the views of the surrounding countryside and letting in plenty of natural light. The present property is of a reasonable size, being a little over 2,200 square ft in total , but it is fair to say that the interior is in need of some updating and should provide potential for extension subject to the necessary consents. The house is approached by way of a long rural lane of some 3rd of a mile. The entrance is flanked by attractive brick and stone walls, with a bespoke cedar gate, in turn flanked by 2 weeping willow trees, opening onto a driveway providing casual parking and turning space. A pretty brick and flint garage and store lie adjacent to the parking area. The surrounding gardens are simply arranged and laid to lawn for ease of maintenance, with paved terraces to the east and south. Also to the south lies an outdoor pool. The garden has also been planted with an imaginative choice of specimen trees including dawn redwood, norwegian and american maples, himalayan silver birch and japanese snowbell tree. Beyond the immediate gardens to the north and south, gates lead onto areas of paddock and field surrounded by post and rail fencing, in all some 3.2 acres.
