Homestall is approached over a shingle driveway through sturdy double opening electric oak gates. The driveway continues to the side of the property culminating in a generous parking/turning area for a good number of vehicles.
Adjacent is a substantial garage block of timber construction beneath a pitched tiled roof, currently divided into two garages with double opening doors to the front and a large workshop.
The gardens form a delightful backdrop to the property enjoying privacy, and are laid to lawn with a selection of trees including copper beech, cherry, silver birch, eucalyptus, etc. There are colourful flower borders and to the front of the house is an array of hydrangeas and roses.
A brick pathway leads to the south where there is a beautiful more formal garden with a broad terrace and a parterre garden with box hedging, clipped bays, roses, a small vegetable garden and an ornamental fishpond with central fountain and espaliered pear trees.
There is a further area of lawn with a central magnolia grandiflora and a pathway leads down to an additional sheltered terrace to the side of the garage.
