Gardens & Grounds - High Park Farm occupies a most delightful semi-rural location with superb gardens and grounds totalling 7.31 acres or thereabouts; 1.25 acres of garden, including the menage, and 6 acres of paddock land. The property is set back from Cross Lane behind a high mix hedgerow and fenced boundary frontage and accessed by remote controlled electric gates with aluminium gate posts with lights above which were newly installed in August 2024. There is a 4.7m wide double width sweeping gravel driveway which extends beyond the house to an 8m wide turning area and detached quadruple car barn/garaging with electric car charging point and bi-fold opening doors at each end. There is a lobby area with three phase electricity supply and a Tesla battery which charges on cheap electricity overnight and powers the house throughout the day. It also charges from the solar panel on the roof during the day. In addition, there is planning permission for nine more solar panels. To the side of the car barn garages, there is a double width block paved area providing further parking space for cars or motorhome/caravan. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, with extensive borders to one side with mature shrubs and trees, and a large sandstone patio provides a private seating area with gated access on both sides of the property leading round to the front and side. The front garden is enclosed by a new low fence boundary with pedestrian gated entrance opening onto a sweeping stone path to the front entrance door. The garden is mainly laid to lawn which extends beyond the house to a block paved patio area and separate lower level sandstone patio with brick built low retaining walled boundaries and a water feature. Steps lead up to further extensive lawns enclosed on all sides by mature shrubs and trees, including grape vine and Japanese maple and magnolia tree and enjoys a south west facing aspect. Beyond here, a winding in-and-out slate chippings path leads to a secret garden area with further mature shrubs and trees. Returning to the driveway entrance, to the right hand side, there is a lovely established garden featuring a natural pond, ash tree, weeping willow, apple tree and a variety of other mature trees which offers a lovely sheltered setting. Beyond here, there is a 40m x 20m menage with mains water and electricity supply, and a farm gate at the end of the driveway leads onto a substantial hardstanding yard area with mains water, which leads to an L-shaped stable block with four stables, a tack room, feed room and a separate hay store.
