Gardens & Grounds The quite lovely gardens have been very well designed throughout with care and attention and provide wonderful colour and splendour. The interestingly and well stocked borders contrast well with the different areas of the gardens mixed with a wide variety of mature trees. The gardens are a balance of the formal with individual corners contrasting well with the wide expanses of lawns. Numerous doors from the main house lead directly out to the terrace and formal lawned area. Beyond the lawns is a HaHa, which seamlessly divides the gardens and the farm land beyond.
Outside The Dower House is set behind secure Cotswold stone walls offering privacy and tranquillity. The property stands within mature landscaped gardens and terraces with parking for numerous cars to the side. At the front of the house is the Swimming Pool. Surrounded by a Beech hedge and stone wall it is entirely private with the benefit of a stone Terrace area set under a pergola. Set further away from the house is the hard Tennis Court. To the side of the house and beside the drive is the Cotswold stone Barn / Stable Block with 3 loose boxes with tack room, feed/rug store as well as Attic Rooms / Storage Space above. At one end of the barn and accessed from the lane is a Garage. There is potential to create ancillary accommodation in the barn. In the past consent had been granted for a Flat (now lapsed). To the rear of the barn is a Greenhouse, which is well located within the Kitchen Garden.
