Outside Space/Gardens - In all the property stands within truly delightful grounds extending to approx 0.25 acres as follows;

Driveway access in from the road with a large area on the immediate left side of wooded grounds extending up to the main road. As the drive extends towards the house there is generous parking/hardstand and turning space and a range of buildings as follows;

1. Garden shed/store.
2. Lodge style building. 10ft deep X 17ft wide. Rebuilt in recent years and internally insulated suitable for a number of uses including what could be the perfect home office. Currently the building contains a partially sunken 4m x 2m hydrotherapy pool. Heated to a maximum of 39 degrees using an air-source heat pump, the pool was built and professionally installed with the current owners to rehabilitate and exercise their Labrador, but could easily be converted for alternative use.
3. Timber carport/shelter. 17ft deep X 19 wide. Open fronted but allowing excellent vehicle storage and of a generous height.

Moving towards the house the gardens become more formal laid mainly to lawn and start to take full advantage of the unspoilt open aspects onto the adjacent field often with exercising horses from the neighbouring Easthorpe stud. At the front of the cottage a block paved patio area looks out to the same field. Given the way the property sits within the plot there is great potential to extend onto the side elevation we feel although this is subject to all usual consents.
