A winding driveway leads gracefully through a large front grazing field up to the residence, creating an impressive approach while enhancing the sense of seclusion. To the side of the house lies a traditional courtyard with a gravel surface, enclosed by a range of stone outbuildings which were formerly used as stables and still retain features such as an automatic water feeder. These buildings are now utilised for storage but could readily be reused as stables or, subject to the necessary consents, converted to further accommodation or a variety of other uses. In total, there are three separate stone outbuildings within the courtyard, adding both character and potential for future development.

The grounds to the front of the property are equally appealing, with a large grazing field framed by mature planting and the sweeping driveway enhancing the overall setting.
