The driveway gives a large area of parking and leads to various outbuildings including a detached barn which may be suitable for conversion subject to planning permission. The land includes paddocks and beautifully maintained gardens.

    There is a stable block with five boxes and a tack room located around a concrete yard.

    There is an outdoor arena with an all-weather surface and a handy outbuilding.

    Originally built in the 15th Century, this home is named after Thomas Pope who lived there. The property is Grade II Listed and has been lived in by the current owner for 59 years.
