Number 7 is one of six properties occupying the main house. It is very well presented throughout and has its own private flagstone area at the front of the house. It also has the use of 15 acres of formal gardens, shared only by the five other occupants of the main house and The Tythe Barn. In all there are 18 properties.

The interior is most attractive and well-presented over three floors and has a warm and friendly atmosphere. Features appropriate to the period have been retained including stone mullion leaded light windows with drip mouldings, oak panelled doors and beamed ceilings. Additionally, the sitting room/bedroom 3 and the landing each have a fine stone fireplace with ornate stone carving. The property is well-presented and in 2021 an excellent bespoke kitchen, with integrated appliances by Timbercraft, was installed. The entrance hall and kitchen have an engineered oak floor. The sitting room/bedroom 3 is located on the first floor with a lovely outlook and 2 bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, are located on the second floor. All of the windows throughout the property have secondary glazing.

Barrow Court is a stunning Grade II* listed building and stands on the site of a Benedictine nunnery founded in the 13th century. It became a private mansion and was renamed Barrow Court in 1536 and was largely rebuilt between 1537 and 1539. It remained in private ownership until it was sold in 1976 and divided into private dwellings. The beautiful formal gardens of 15 acres were completed in 1897 and adjoin parkland. A gate lodge and archway, dated around 1884, stand at the entrance and a straight drive continues between Scots pine and Beech trees into the walled forecourt of Barrow Court.

The impressive Grade ll listed gardens were designed and laid out by Inigo Thomas in the 1890s and extend to c. 4.25 acres. These gardens are co-owned by the residents of the six houses within the main house. They are immaculately maintained and include a number of terraces, vistas, pavilions and a notable obelisk pillar. The gardens are on descending levels leading from a broad terrace to a pond encircled by yew hedging and flanked by formal borders on either side. The sculptures are by Alfred Drury and an elegant balustrade borders a large level lawn with vistas to the valley beyond.

Beyond the formal gardens is a magnificent Arboretum, which is home to a wonderful collection of mature trees including Katsura, Cypresses, Judas and Gingko. Much of the surrounding farmland at Barrow Court is owned by members of the Gibbs family
