The grounds themselves extend to approximately 2.6 acres and comprise a mixture of garden and paddock. The gardens are mainly to the rear of the property with sheltered patio areas to either end of the cottage which step down to a large lawned area bordered by mature shrubs and hedging, which provide seclusion without obscuring the wonderful views over the Avon Valley. There is a further area of decking between the house and outbuilding, ideal for al fresco dining and relaxing and a superb vantage point from which to enjoy the outlook.
Beyond the main house is a versatile OUTBUILDING , which provides a multitude of facilities and could be utilised to serve a number of purposes, including home office, gym or studio. A door opens into the principal STUDIO beyond which is an OFFICE/STORE with an adjoining SHOWER ROOM. Attached to the rear of the outbuilding is a STORE, TACK ROOM, STABLE and WORKSHOP with light and power connected. A BARN stands beyond the initial outbuilding with sliding doors and light and power connected.
The upper paddock has the benefit of a gated access onto Buddle Hill, from which there is direct access to the open forest of Gorley Comon for riding out. Within the paddock is a further SHELTER/STORE. The remaining land lies to the far end of the plot and is sub-divided into two holding paddocks currently used for sheep grazing. In all the ground extends to approximately 2.61 acres.
