GARDENS
As the photographs would suggest, the property has beautiful gardens to the front. Off the cobbled lane, there is a fully cobbled driveway with stone gateposts and gateway which leads through to the front entrance driveway. This delightful turning area is tastefully gravelled. The garden area is relatively low maintenance and is superbly landscaped with lawned gardens and stone-cobble edges, mature shrubbery and trees, and a fabulous ha-ha giving a superb boundary to the fields with uninterrupted views out over the fields and valley beyond. To the rear there are magical gardens which are enclosed by natural stone walling and a wonderful blanket-cover of mature Rhodedendrons with trees above. With a delightful and very long pond, currently home for ducks and ducklings on the day this brochure was dictated, the gardens here have complementary lawns, beautiful sitting-out areas and there are covered areas in which to enjoy the garden even on a rainy day. With beautiful flagged paved areas and pathways, all being superbly finished. There is an everyday driveway/parking area complementing this garden which gives easy access to the other driveways.
DRIVEWAYS
The property benefits from two very well-established and beautifully presented driveways. The upper driveway is from Dean Road and this driveway gives access down to the property by automatically operated gates. The lower driveway leads from Greenfield Road through the Liphill Farm hamlet of four properties and an automatic gate gives access to a beautifully cobbled driveway which rises up to Hey Farm. These driveways both connect in front of Hey Farm and there is an access lane around the rear. Both driveways give easy access to the land. The land, as the attached plans demonstrate, surrounds the home and gives the property a huge degree of security and privacy.
WALKS AND FARMLAND
Enjoying the view and the land around it, Hey Farm has a sense of power, and the beautiful view gives it that ‘something very special’. With walks over the farmland, the vendor has, over the years, taken great pleasure and pride in planting trees, shrubbery and mixed hedgerows - maintaining walls and such like. It should be noted that the two of the fields to the north of the property have a footpath passing over them as does parts of lane. A footpath diversion 21 years ago ensures that the property is not, itself, disturbed by any passing footpath.
