Impressive, with its exposed timber frame and brick block and timber flooring, the pool house provides a kitchen and a mezzanine gallery/stage, with changing room facilities below.
Gardens and grounds
There is a tennis court on the raised land by the pool, with a wild flower meadow beyond, leading up to a further lawn, used for football goals etc.The paddock at the front stretches down to the road, with the public footpath crossing a small area as shown on the land plan. This footpath ultimately leads to the separate wood which is included within the sale. Outside, the house sits within a grouping of period buildings with parklike grounds to the front, right down to the road, including lawn and paddock and a small orchard.
The property enjoys an extensive private driveway for parking, accessed through the electric gated entrance from the private approach lane, with a further shared secondary drive, which gives access to the attached cottage. Behind the house, directly accessed from the kitchen, there is a fine landscaped, brick-blocked, part-walled terrace, leading onto a delightful formal lawned garden with well stocked mature borders.
