Outside

Externally the property is approached through a gate into a large private courtyard with ample parking, in addition to covered parking for multiple vehicles. Three stone pigs-cots offer several potential uses.

Across the yard, the former milking parlour has full planning permission for a self-contained one-bed annexe but could easily accommodate two bedrooms. An access track provides private access from the back of the annexe, to the road.

An extensive lawned area to the rear, features silver birch and wild cherry trees, along with a calisthenics gym.

To the rear of the threshing barn, there is a large walled garden laid to lawn, with wild rose, weeping mulberry, juneberry, laburnum, and ash trees. Within a sheltered corner, sits a large, paved terrace, beneath a wisteria-clad pergola, an ideal spot for alfresco dining.

A wide feature stone path leads from the barn threshing doors to decorative wrought iron gates, which frame far-reaching countryside views.

A large garden office with heating, lighting, wifi and wired data points, provides the perfect home office.

Beyond the formal garden, lies a small paddock with silver birch, rowan, walnut and almond trees, providing the ideal space for a wildflower meadow. An additional acre of land lies adjacent, at the rear of the carport, and offers a mixed orchard with apples, pears, cherries, plums, mulberry and elderflower, as well as hazelnut and almond trees. This area is home to many wildlife-supporting specimen trees, such as judas, black locust, maple, crab apple, juneberry, and weeping willow.

The woodland beyond, supports beech, alder, ironwood, oak, ash, fir, holly, strawberry, pineapple broom, and fig trees. While to the lower level, the Garren Brook meanders its tranquil way around large natural stepping stones.
