This driveway continues to the rear of the plot where there is a large barn with permission for conversion for residential use – this area is currently used for storage.

Adjacent to the house is a coach house which is again currently used for storage and this also benefits from residential planning permission to convert. Please refer to the planning reference UTT/20/0301/FUL.

The grounds themselves are set in a mature parkland style and enjoy a wonderfully peaceful aspect adjoining open countryside. There is a tennis court and a wonderful array of mature specimen trees and shrubs.

The house itself has been in the same ownership for over 40 years and has been sympathetically maintained by the current owners.
