Outside

The home occupies a wonderful, discreet position within a Conservation Area and is bordered on three sides by open paddock land.

The home is set down a private farm track, that in turn gives way to a gravel driveway that sweeps through a small paddock (designated agricultural) and onto the formal grounds, past the ornamental pond to a large parking area for multiple vehicles.

The grounds extend to circa 0.8 of an acre that wrap around the home. The grounds have been well landscaped. The front parkland style garden is predominantly laid to lawn with an ornamental pond and mature trees.

There is a single garage that no longer has vehicular access and is currently used as a garden store. The raised rear garden is laid to lawn with established, abundant floral and herbaceous borders and a selection or fruit trees.

There are simply stunning open views across the adjoining Chalke Valley and adjoining farmland.
