10 EXTERNAL The property is approached via double width electrically operated security gates that secure a very large driveway with central brick turning circle with lawned top which acts as a central point between the principal farmhouse and the impressive range of L-shaped buildings. From the L-shaped buildings there is a driftway that leads through to the rear field, whilst the gardens can be accessed either side of the principal dwelling. The gardens have been expertly landscaped and beautifully designed so as to provide a superb external environment. The gardens are principally laid to lawn but there are also beautifully stocked beds and borders, a range of young and more mature trees and many mature hedges therefore affording the property great levels of privacy. There are also wonderful views over the surrounding countryside towards the Willington hills. Within the garden there is an excellent summer house that stands on a raised decked platform. Beyond the garden there is a high quality field with separate road access with the field being of relatively flat gradient and having its boundaries clearly defined. OUTBUILDINGS Oscroft Farm benefits from an extensive range of outbuildings that are not only aesthetically pleasing but of high build quality and original to the property. The two storey range of buildings are ideal for a range of purposes including day to day general storage, stable blocks or those with special interests e.g. classic car collectors. There is also a large single storey building in need of some repair that lies towards the western side of the boundary. It should be noted that at the present time the vendor of Oscroft Farm has applied for planning permission to convert the barns to separate residential units and should this application be successful, the benefit of this planning would pass to the future purchaser. In total the grounds extend to approximately 4.8 acres as identified in the plan within the Wright Marshall sales particulars. MISCELLANEOUS There is an external boiler house found in the courtyard garden that contains a wall mounted Worcester boiler and has space for a washing machine/tumble dryer if required.
