Outside
The property is approached through a five-bar gate onto a gravel driveway where there is parking and a double cart lodge. A lush garden dotted with a variety of mature trees, plants and shrubs leads to the property and offers generous views to the beautiful surrounding countryside. A pedestrian gate leads directly from the quiet lane to the front door via a brick path.
Over the double cart lodge is a home office which is insulated, heated and fully fitted with electricity and super-fast broadband, creating a perfect working from home space with views to the fields beyond. To the rear of the cart lodge is a purpose-built workshop and to the side is a dedicated garden store/potting shed, both also supplied with electricity. A path leads through the garden to a covered area with space for outdoor furniture, a BBQ / fire pit which offers a sheltered and secluded space to sit and enjoy the garden. Beyond, the garden transforms into a wild flower meadow where a bespoke made shepherd’s hut, entirely constructed from reclaimed materials, occupies an elevated and peaceful position. The hut benefits from a small, cosy wood burning stove and has a fitted sofa which converts easily into a double bed providing additional accommodation. It is available for separate negotiation.
Finally, the outside space is completed by a one bedroom detached annexe with adjacent art studio with south facing views over the wildflower meadow. The annexe is a stunning open plan space with kitchenette/dining area, living area, bedroom and shower room and benefits from it’s own super-fast broadband.
