Butterwell Barn is approached via double timber electric gates over a driveway leading to a large detached double garage with two remote controlled electric up and over doors to the front. The driveway continues around a central shrub border to a further area for parking. The generous gardens are mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with a number of mature shrubs, trees and recently planted fruit trees. A central courtyard patio area with an electronic awning provides the ideal space for alfresco dining, with a further patio area situated at the front of the house. The original Butterwell can be found amid the small leat which runs through part of the garden, and would make a delightful water feature.
