The house is approached through the equestrian yard leading into a circular
drive to the front. To the side is a large garden with post-and-rail fencing laid

The garden provides attractive views across its own land and to the rear of
the property is a small patio garden. Immediately to the front of the house is
a large patio area and further lawn at the centre of the drive. There is also a
hardstanding with stabling.

The holiday cottages are a pair of semi-detached two bedroom cottages
named Badgers Rest 1 and Badgers Rest 2. Both properties provide

regularly booked up through Airbnb with the potential to be promoted to

barn arranged around the yard and opposite the house. A hardcore
track provides access to an all-weather floodlit arena.

LAND

end of the farm is a separate access on to the A275 with woodland of
approximately 9.5 acres running up to the house.

Parts of the land would lend themselves to activities such as camping,
and possibly renewable energy (subject to planning consent).

In all, approximately 56 acres.

towards East Grinstead. After approximately ¾ mile turn right into Mill
Lane and continue before turning left down a private lane just before
the old railway bridge, signposted Toad Hall, and the property will be
