The property is entered by electronically controlled, double solid wooden 10ft high private security gates. The gates lead into a large cobbled courtyard and drive where the stable block, coach house and integral double garage are located.
Alongside the coach house and stable block, which includes four loose boxes, there is a fully panelled, traditional tack room that is currently used as the estate office.
There is parking for three vehicles in the coach house, in addition to room in the integral garage. This restored block and coach house was completed in 1903 to commemorate Major Marter’s considerable help over many years of service to Queen Victoria and the country due to his service to the UK during the Zulu wars.
The acreage and formal grounds have been meticulously kept by the current owner’s gardener. A rear terrace allows for multiple seating areas and al fresco dining. This property sits in 15 acres in total.
