Outside
From the track a 5-bar wooden gate opens to a generous gravelled frontage that provides ample parking and turning space for several vehicles and access to the house. Flanking the driveway is an impressive Holmsley Oak TRIPLE BAY CAR BARN with an elevated mid-section for high sided vehicles and paved hard standing to front, whilst on the other side is a DOUBLE GARAGE with double wooden doors, personal door to side and power and light connected. An internal staircase leads to an excellent OFFICE with Velux windows and ample desk space, ideal for those seeking work-from-home space.
The house sits forward in its impressive plot
that extends to approximately 3.6 acres. The majority of the garden is found to the rear of the house, which enjoys a southerly orientation and wonderful aspect towards the surrounding forest. Immediately adjoining the rear of the house is a SWIMMING POOL TERRACE (heated via an air source heat pump) with brick paved surround, a wonderful spot for al fresco dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the splendid vista. Beyond the pool terrace, well manicured lawns interspersed by two deep flower and shrub beds sweep away from the house following the gentle gradient of the hillside. To the side of the house is a landscaped, Japanese style 'sunken' garden featuring a series of brick retaining beds and a gravel pathway, and there is a private area of light woodland in the upper eastern corner.
Beyond the garden is a excellent STABLE BLOCK and small YARD comprising 3 LOOSE BOXES and TACK ROOM opening onto a tarmac yard area with gated access to the paddocks below and mains water connection. The land is divided into 4 separate paddocks divided by post and rail fencing. Behind the stables is a timber framed BARN with stable style door and a GARDEN STORE and LOG STORE with power & light connected.
