An expansive paved terrace spans the side of the property and enjoys fantastic views from an elevated position over the property's own paddocks and beyond.

Stone steps lead to a lower level terrace and a natural swimming pool with an over hanging decked area surrounded by a pond with aquatic planting and raised flower beds stocked with perennials and wildflower, and arbours adorned with climbing plants.

The lawns continue to gently slope down to a hedge with paddocks beyond.

The impressive equestrian facilities are a real feature and comprise a large American barn, currently with four stables to one side with front and rear doors and a tack room and sliding doors to either end. The other side is currently utilised as a barn for agricultural storage but additional stables could be installed if required.
