Externally the property stands on an extensive plot with a gated entrance and gravel driveway to the rear. There is an open fronted former dairy which could provide covered parking in addition to the spacious outdoor parking area. The range of outbuildings include a double height barn and two former stables all of which could be converted to suit a buyer's need subject to necessary planning consent. (Agent note, the current owner has had plans drawn up for a two bedroom cottage and these can be available through our Bawtry office upon request).

One of the stables has already been converted to provide a home office space ideal for any buyer wishing to work from home. The gardens have a south westerly aspect and have been laid out in a way to benefit from the sun all day from a number of different patios and terraces. The gardens give total privacy and seclusion from the outside world with the boundaries being flanked by established hedges and trees. The sweeping lawns are complimented by several beautifully designed and established borders with shrub and herbaceous planting.

The gardens are a haven of peace and tranquillity for the owners to enjoy. Should a buyer wish to split the property into two parts, retaining the main residence and gaining planning for conversion of the barns this is something that we feel would add substantial value to the package as a whole in the long term.
