The four-bedroom house borders the neighbouring farm and is in an elevated position with fine views down to the Caulbourne Stream, across spacious level lawns and a small paddock with majestic willow and oak trees, extending to about 1 acre (0.401 ha) in total. In the winter there are long range views through the trees to the surrounding countryside. The garden is split in the middle with a ha-ha retaining wall meaning there is masses of useable lawned area.
