The gravelled driveway, flanked to one side by a formal lawn, leads to an attractive open courtyard at the front of the house and onto a discreet parking area with its own separate exit. To the southwest of the house, there is a formal lawned area with well maintained Beech, Laurel and Hawthorn hedging and mature trees. At the rear of the house, there is an attractive stone colonnade pergola leading to a brick building with a vaulted ceiling and sliding doors. Inside is a kitchen, living room, bedroom and WC, which was previously staff accommodation. There is also a further paddock and helipad in the northwest corner.
At the front of the house, there is an impressive 2,727 sqft refurbished barn. The former barn has been converted into an incredible set of spaces and secondary accommodation. The ground floor has an impressive lateral open plan lounge with a connecting playroom, with a kitchen and WC to the rear.
