Outside
The whole plot extends to approximately 5 acres and is predominantly south facing. The house is approached on foot through an arched gate set into the walled front garden or from the garage and driveway to the rear. A mature vine cloaks the walled south facing terrace that looks out over the valley. The garden immediately surrounding the main house lies mainly to grass with a variety of mature exotic trees to include a Lily tree, Ginko, Indian Bean, Copper Beech, Poplar and Eucalyptus. Fruit trees include apple, damson and sloe. The land surrounds the garden and is divided into two main paddocks. It slopes gently down to the pretty Ferneyley Brook and pond that form the southern boundary. The grounds are securely enclosed with post and wire fencing and natural hedgerow.
