The setting, together with the large gardens, create an outstanding country house with lots of potential and possible further improvement or extension subject to local authority planning permission. The property enjoys some fine views across its grounds to the rear to wooded boundaries and across to Bucklebury Common at the front.

? The property enjoys the ancient commoners rights which includes the gathering of firewood

? The property is within walking distance of the centre of the village which has a village shop, a successfully owned gastropub, primary school and tennis club
