There are two tennis courts (one hard court and one lawn), a Paddock, lakes and islands, fed by the Gaggle Brook, an ornamental pond and Victorian rock pool. Surrounded by parkland and mature trees, views from the property are breathtaking. The property requires considerable work but still retains some of its original character.
