Tanyard House benefits from two additional properties within its grounds, an attached annexe and a detached cottage.

The Annexe
Attached to the main house but completely self-contained, is a two-storey annexe offering superb ‘upside down’ accommodation comprising a entrance hall with fitted storage, two good sized bedrooms and a shower room at ground floor level. Upstairs is an open plan living space with a vaulted ceiling, fitted kitchen with dining area, and a sitting area with views and direct access to a private roof terrace.

The Cottage
Forming one boundary of the gardens is a delightful two storey cottage. This detached property is finished to the same high standard as the main house and annexe and offers an open plan ground floor living space with fitted kitchen, storage, and a dining/sitting room with wood burning stove and French doors out to an enclosed private courtyard.
