The adjacent, detached, two-storey, stone-built barn is currently used for storage only and has an attached side canopy over a stone flagged yard which would create a perfect outdoor kitchen. Myriad uses for the barn spring to mind, following an uplift in its current condition, such as a home office, games or cinema room, however, there is a covenant in place to prevent conversion into a formal dwelling.  \r
The GroundsSet beyond a hawthorn hedge and lawn frontage, the property has driveway parking to either side; one stone flagged and one pebbled and both having space for three/four cars. To the rear are extensive lawn gardens, immaculately tended, bordered by hedgerows and dotted with specimen trees and flowering shrubs interspersed with herbaceous planting and spring bulbs.  Pebbled pathways meander through, passing an ornamental pond, decked and stone-paved sun terraces, five raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse and an outside tap.  From the lawn, an opening gives way to the stock-fenced paddock with five-barred gate road access, an orchard and a natural wildlife pond. \r
