Above the triple-bay garage, there is a self-contained annexe including a seventh bedroom, again en-suite, as well as an open-plan sitting room/dining room/kitchen.

Other outbuildings include a wood store, outside kitchen and wine store, single garage and four-bay garage/store, as well as a glass-fronted home office and gym.

The house is set in landscaped grounds, with around three-and-a-half acres of gardens, which are mainly laid to lawn with trees and a moat.

Grove Farm's land also includes a four-acre paddock, 19.5 acres of agricultural land and a copse, but if a buyer does not want all the land it may be possible to buy just the house, gardens and paddock.
