The house is approached from the road via an unadopted road (with access rights) which leads to electrically operated security entrance gates, through which a shingle driveway sweeps off to the right to an ample car parking area. The drive continues past the front of the house and round to the garage. The front garden has a terraced lawn with mature trees, hedges and shrubs. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs and hedging and is overlooked by a large brick and paved terrace with views over the valley. The garage/workshop is brick and block built, measures 35' x 19'6, has a pedestrian door and a 16' three car port to the front. The drive leads down through a five bar gate to the stableyard and paddock. A shingle path leads from the yard to the manege.

The yard is an exceptional combination of good looks and practicality. The brick built stable block is U-shaped, with a large covered area with large timber pillars and block paving. The building itself is 80’ x 30’ with the overhang providing a further 51’ x 17’ of cover. There are 6 stables with auto waterers and liquid rubber floors - four 13’ x 12’6 and two foaling boxes (approximately 18' x 14') – and a tack / feed room with kitchenette, WC and wash hand basin.

The manege is professionally constructed to a high standard with good drainage. It measures 60m x 20m, is enclosed by three rail post and rail with mesh, has a silica sand and soft track rubber surface and has comprehensive floodlighting.

There is one large free draining paddock with post and rail perimeter fencing and mature hedging. Mains water and electricity are connected.
