Externally, the property truly comes into its own. Set within grounds approaching half an acre, the gardens provide a delightful mix of open lawn, mature planting and more informal areas, offering both privacy and a strong connection to the surrounding countryside. The setting lends itself equally well to family use, entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the environment.

A particular feature of the property is the range of traditional barns and outbuildings, which offer excellent potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. These spaces present an exciting opportunity to create ancillary accommodation, a home office suite, leisure facilities such as a gym or studio, or even a striking contemporary garden room with extensive glazing—perfectly blending old and new. The flexibility of these buildings significantly enhances the overall offering, allowing the property to evolve with the needs of its next owner.

For those with a more entrepreneurial vision, there is also the enticing prospect of creating boutique guest accommodation or short-term lets.

This could represent a unique lifestyle and income opportunity.
