Access can also be gained via a pedestrian door. Power and light are connected with the added benefit of an external tap.


The property is approached by a single track driveway which is bordered by established hedges to both sides, from where an iron gate opens onto a gravel and stepping stone pathway with wrought iron trellis and edged with mature shrubs. This path leads up to the front door. To one side of the path and to the front of the property is an area of lawned garden. To the side of the property is a spacious landscaped area with paths, period rose arches and a slate patio area with a low stone wall edging with integrated barbecue. From the front door the pathway becomes a solid path and slopes down to the back door of the property, where a large stone retaining wall is an impressive feature \"which the rear garden is\". On the far side of the driveway is an extensive level, lawned garden which is entirely bordered by mature shrubbing and has a timber summer house.

This room includes a \"Sougland\" stove which is situated in the corner of the room on a slate hearth with tiled splashbacks and flue, providing the summer with heating. Internally the timber has been painted with a stripped pine floor. Double opening French doors lead out onto a decked area, providing a nice seating area to appreciate the rest of the garden.


From this area of level lawn there is a further pathway which leads down to a coppice of woodland with very mature trees, paths, small feature bridge and seating area. There is also a stream that flows from this level into the woods.
