Tucked away between the main house and the annexe, a charming lawned garden features a terrace and outdoor seating area. This delightful setting with stunning views of the surrounding countryside, is perfect for accommodating a hot tub and/or a dining table and chairs to enjoy in the summer months.


The sunroom
Situated in the corner of the formal gardens, the sunroom offers a peaceful escape from the main house, with breathtaking views over the gardens and the countryside beyond.


The gardens and grounds
This exceptional property is further enhanced by a large gated gravel drive, over two acres of paddocks and enclosed well-maintained mature gardens that surround both the main house and the guest annex. A newly installed block-paved driveway entrance offers ample space to pull completely off the road, with excellent visibility for safe access. The area provides extensive parking options, including a spacious double oak carport and a designated area for a large horse box, van, or motorhome (up to 9 meters).


The paddocks
The paddocks, bordered on three sides by neighbouring fields and gardens and on the fourth by Laugherne Brook, encompass approximately two acres of mostly level terrain that gently rises away from the brook towards the stables and a spacious hardstanding area, which includes a 21-foot storage facility. A secure steel gateway opens onto the main gravel driveway, providing full vehicular access to the paddocks, stables, and hardstanding area. While perfectly suited for equestrian use, this land offers versatility; it could be transformed into a vibrant wildflower meadow, enhancing the property’s biodiversity, or seamlessly integrated as an extension of the formal garden lawns for added aesthetic appeal.


The equestrian facilities
Two generously sized and well-proportioned stables, along with a sizable hay and bedding store, perfect for equestrian enthusiasts or those considering a smallholding lifestyle. Nearby, tranquil countryside lanes offer an ideal setting for hacking.

All outside buildings have electricity supply installed under IEE regs, except for the 21ft steel shipping container which provides secure storage.

Services

The whole of the main house benefits from a heat recovery ventilation system, saving on energy costs.
