The annex comprises a living room/kitchen with glazed door to the front of the property and windows overlooking the garden. The stairs rise to two bedrooms and a shower room with large shower enclosure, wc and wash basin.
OUTSIDE The house is approached via a long driveway with a mature lime avenue and several fruit trees. To one side of the drive there is a turning and parking area for several cars, a stone outbuilding that has been used as a stable in the past and a large field shelter that supports an array of solar PV panels. One end of the field shelter is sectioned off to house the electrical equipment that manages feed-in to the national grid and supply to the house. To the front of the house, there is a pathway from the drive to the front door with roses either side. Other paths lead to the annex door and through the deep well stocked cottage garden. An established wisteria drapes part of the front elevation. To the rear of the house, shrubs and patio look out over the paddock, cherry, medlar and apple trees; summerhouse at the lower end of the paddock.
