Outside
The drive with its specimen trees is flanked by a paddock, extensive lawn area and borders with rhododendrons and azaleas. The private and sheltered courtyard is ideal for al fresco entertaining with an additional dining area under the adjacent pergola. Bordering the western lawn are selected specimen trees and a bank planted with rhododendrons and azaleas that divides the formal gardens from the cross country course. Beyond also lies a hard tennis court, sheltered behind a laurel hedge. The picturesque lake with its island is nestled in the corner of the property, abundant with wildlife and plants.

Equestrian Facilities/potential leisure suite
The covered stable block largely comprises eight (potential for more) indoor stables, tack room, large feed room/rug room. One stable is used as a wash/clipping room, with tap and drainage. There is also a separate timber stable outside. The all-season extensive indoor arena has dressage mirrors and a viewing gallery. The outdoor manège with Martin Collins Gel Track surface (63m x 22m) is situated beyond the tennis court. There is a back entrance for horse boxes and a turning area with a pole barn for storage and horse box parking. Between the barn and the indoor arena, are staff facilities and an office. The cross country area, which has a few jumps and a water feature, can easily be extended behind the property.

Environs
