OUTSIDE
The gardens and grounds lie south of the main house with a garden mainly laid to lawn and opening out to a large field of approximately 7 acres giving total protection, a utopia for children and animals. There is an orchard with established fruit trees, a private woodland copse to the north of the property with mature oaks, bluebells, wild garlic etc, a chicken run, log & machinery store, and plenty of parking.
