The property enjoys an enviable, south-facing aspect and is approached through stone-pillared gates with sweeping, gravel driveway leading to the front of the house. Glorious gardens surround the property, with a lawned ha-ha to the front providing a pastoral view across the adjoining grassland and pond.

There is a large range of well-maintained courtyard buildings offering potential and the grounds include a rare and beautifully preserved Fifteenth Century Dovecote.
