EXTERNALLY: Dairy Farmhouse is set within 3.80 acres of low maintenance gardens and paddocks, with mature

trees such as Walnut, Cobnut, Hazelnut, Oak and a Willow Tree. The kitchen garden includes vegetables and home

grown fruit trees such as apple, pear, plum and fig. The gardens and grounds are surrounded by spectacular farmland

and orchards with far reaching views. The very inviting south facing swimming pool and terrace creates the perfect

retreat to capture the sunshine. Adjacent to the swimming pool is the footprint of the old tennis court, which could

be improved and brought back to life. Stabling is currently under construction on an existing footprint. A charming

natural pond creates a haven for wildlife including nesting ducks, and a chicken house and area for chickens to free

roam. This haven for wildlife is entered from a tarmac driveway through an electric five bar gate. There are no

footpaths or wayleaves on or across Dairy Farmhouse.
