The property is approached by a gravel driveway which leads to the coach house/garage block with adjoining workshop, potting shed, wood store and first floor loft rooms. The gardens are absolutely magnificent, beautifully landscaped enjoying large stone flagged patio areas, extensive lawns, borders, shrubs, rhododendrons, mature specimen trees including yew trees, beautiful woodland, estate fencing, substantial summerhouse, an adventure treehouse with rope bridges (in need of some repair). A special mention must be made to the River Bollin that runs through the woods.
