As you approach the property, electric gates open onto a driveway, which lead up to a large parking area with a triple car barn and separate integral garage.

The grounds attributed to the property amount to approximately 2.5 acres and comprise a formal lawn garden that wraps around and extends out to the south of the property and a one acre walled garden, within which is an orchard of fruit trees. An attractive and historic red brick wall providing a high degree of both privacy and seclusion divides the gardens and orchard with an arched entrance set within the wall linking the two areas.

Set between the dividing brick wall is a wonderful, two storey bothy providing a unique focal point and a wonderful addition to the main house. The bothy is currently used as a store, but offers potential for modernisation and options for other uses.

Adjoining and extending across the rear of the property is a delightful, south facing terrace offering and ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
