The plot then expands up to larger area where there are a selection of specimen trees, along with the area where the solar array is found. The productive area includes a hop garden and is suitable for growing fine produce with a selection of fruit trees including cider apple, bramley cooking apples, crab apple, pear, plum and cherry.

From the top of this area there is a pleasant aspect looking back over the property towards the village and the historic church.
At the top of the garden there is a storage building and a lovely view over the surrounding landscape. Other outbuildings include a workshop with power and light and an adjacent further store. The grounds then open up to a large gently sloping paddock which is naturally bordered and has a large vineyard area which is surrounded by selection of large trees. One of the key features of this enclosure is the established vines of which there are around 360 in number! The whole setting is sheltered, tranquil and a rich haven for much wildlife.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
