Outside
The house is approached down a private drive from the main road with shrubs on either side and leads to a large parking area for several cars and continues down to the front door of the house. A log shed is found to the side of the house and old timber shed is located above the log shed. The greenhouse is excluded from the sale.
The original drive leads down to the top of the house and to a grassed area, ideally for dropping off logs and could be used as a potager if wanted.
Swimming pool (8m x 4m) With two steps at one end, liner (renewed in 2015), alarm, and pump house under the house.
The woodland
Tracks lead down from the driveway and around to the steam at the bottom. The trees are mainly broadleaf and originally we are advised there used to be grazed pasture at the lower part of the land but it has been reclaimed by trees although the grass still is there. This whole property extends to about 2,7 ha.
Services. Mains water and electricity, septic tank system, gas fired central heating with a large cistern above the house, Solar panels for the swimming pool but are no longer in operation.
The surrounding woodland is protected and cannot be built on.
Our opinion
Views, views, views, tranquility, very sheltered from the prevailing winds and very private!! The nearest neighbour visible from the house is nearly a kilometre away!!
