Outside
Nortons Farm enjoys a superb location at the end of a shared private driveway of some 375 yards in length, which culminates at the front of the house with a parking/turning area for a number of vehicles.
The gardens are principally laid to lawn with a broad terrace adjoining the rear of the house, giving an outlook over the gardens, paddock and attractive pond. To the west of the house is a useful brick and tile workshop.
Outbuildings, Land and Manege
The land is principally laid to pasture with some woodland shaws and two further ponds. At a slight remove from the farm house and approached from a spur of the driveway are a selection of outbuildings (dimensions shown on the floorplan) with an area of hardstanding to the front, comprising a 6-bay pole barn, stables and an additional good sized timber framed building.
All of these are in need of some attention.
To the south-east of the house is a rubber and sand manége and the bridleways give access into Battle Great Wood, making it ideal for those with equestrian interests,
Gardens and grounds in all about 28 acres.
