Gardens & Grounds
The property is approached through electric timber gates leading to a stunning tree lined gravelled drive providing a wonderful sense of arrival as you pull up to the parking area adjacent to the house. The formal gardens that surround the house are beautifully tended and a large terrace runs adjacent to the southern elevation of the house overlooking the parkland and valley, with views extending to the Isle of Wight. To the south of the drive is a highly professional kitchen garden and greenhouse and just beyond this some solar panels, neatly out of sight. To the north of the drive are the paddocks.
Behind the house and beyond the formal gardens are the tennis court and swimming pool. The swimming pool is neatly tucked away and surrounded by terracing and with a pool house, it’s the perfect sun trap. The tennis court is perfectly positioned close to the house yet out of sight and is in excellent condition, a real asset.
There is an immaculately presented one bedroom self-contained cottage comprising of a domed ceiling sitting room, kitchen, double bedroom and full bathroom.
Outbuildings
The property has a host of outbuildings, a barn, stabling and a cottage.
The cottage was later converted in 2011. It boasts a kitchen/dining room on the ground floor, a shower room, a double bedroom and a superb vaulted sitting room on the first floor. It has a slightly contemporary feel throughout, complementing the quality of the main house.
