A gate opens to a path gently wandering down to the house.

Please note that provisional planning permission has previously been granted for conversion of the garage (RR/2010/2472/P) and for a single storey extension to the house and erection of a new garage (RR/2010/1302/P) To the front is a split level paved terrace with generous space for entertaining and al fresco dining, leading up to the main area of lawn which offers views over neighbouring countryside.
