Outside
Elenge Plat is approached through electronically operated gates, opening onto a wide gravel driveway bordered by landscaped lawns, clipped hedging and mature trees. The property is enclosed by a tall front wall, with established planting and post-and-rail fencing providing privacy to the sides and rear.
A timber-framed car barn sits alongside a secure garage/machinery store and first-floor studio. Steps lead down to the plant room and a substantial lower ground floor area, offering excellent potential for conversion into a cinema, hobby room, wine cellar or additional storage.
The south-facing rear elevation features a large stone terrace framed by wisteria, with elegant Doric columns flanking the drawing room doors and supporting the loggia. Brick alcoves at either end provide sheltered seating areas and create a wonderful setting for enjoying the gardens. An archway leads to the side rose garden, while the main garden extends southwards as a generous level lawn.
To the south-west are a large pond, an all-weather tennis court and a detached summerhouse with power connected, currently used as a home office. Beyond this is an original summerhouse, now used as an open garden store, with a tiled roof.
