Outline consent has been approved for the conversion of this to an annexe.
Alongside are the two stable blocks with a tack room, together with a manège, an additional field shelter and several paddocks.
Paved stone terraces beside the house enjoy a sunny aspect, followed by landscaped formal gardens with lush level lawns and mature planting with shrubs, colourful flowerbeds, a pergola covered with wisteria and taller trees, both interspersed and surrounding the plot.
