The Weddles sits in a generous and well-established plot. Delightful woodland, featuring a varied array of mature deciduous and coniferous trees and diverse wildlife, bounds the property from the South West to the North, creating a serene sense of privacy and seclusion. The gardens have been landscaped and planted with diligence and enthusiasm, to provide year-round interest and are bounded by a combination of established hedging and timber fencing.
On approach, the entrance leads into a stone and cobbled driveway, offering ample room for car parking at the foot and the side of a detached, single garage, with an up-and-over door. To the South of the house, a rockery, herb garden, and a wild flower meadow offer definition and colour, whilst to the North there is a large, sheltered lawn encircling a beautiful yew tree. The garden extends to the East into a mature meadow, interspersed with specimen trees. Beneath the shelter of the modern wing, which is suspended above ground level, there is ample room for storing logs and patio furniture. The internal Boiler Room, housing the Worcester boiler, is accessed via an exterior door in the North elevation of the house. There is a second, stone-pillared formal entrance, to the front of the original lodge; with a set of ornate wrought iron gates opening to a driveway.
