Gardens and GroundsA gravelled drive sweeps up to a circular forecourt area at thefront of the house.

The property has a number of substantial outbuildings to the west of the house, one of which Swallow Barn has been converted to a one bedroom cottage, ideal for staff and guest accommodation. Other outbuildings include 2 large open barns, with space for eight cars, a large storage room, a further large barn and storage room.

To the front, the formal grounds comprise extensive areas of lawn, a well-planted rockery and a number of fruit trees along the eastern boundary. Beyond the formal gardens, to the front of the house, are a large meadow and a further field sloping off to the south. To the rear, the gardens are arranged over a number of levels, with well-planted shrub and flower borders and mature trees. From here a path leads to the tennis court and a further area of pasture.

A secondary long driveway leading off Jobsons Lane (justnorth of the Lurgashall Winery) forms a superb approach upto the property, flanked by fields on both sides. Home Farmhas a right of way up this.

servicesThe owners have informed us that there is mains water and electricity, oil-fired central heating and private drainage.

Swallow Barn is heated by its own gas boiler.

Granted planningHome Farm offers tremendous flexibility to significantly extend the main house and convert outbuildings.

main House: Demolition of existing side extensions, erection of two-storey east side extension, single storey west side extension and first floor rear extension. This increases the square footage by over 22% to 7,715 sq ft.

outbuildings: Convert Swallow Barn to a pool house and ancillary accommodation. This will comprise the existing ancillary accommodation, adding a pool hall, dining loggia, furniture store, kitchenette, changing rooms and plant room.
