The grounds are approximately 1 acre: Along the wide frontage of the property are low maintenance gardens. A gated side driveway leads to the large, gravelled parking area, where there is currently a timber stable. Ample room for garaging, or even further buildings (STPP). The impressive rear grounds include a paddock (approx. 0.3 acres, with stone wall and fence boundaries) and the remainder being family sized gardens with lawn, woodland pathways and some useful outbuildings. The grounds are stocked with a range of impressive, mature specimen trees (being formerly the arboretum for Flasby Hall). Immediately to the rear of the house are more formal gardens, with extensive paved seating areas, ideal for entertaining.

WATER: The house has an established, private bore hole water supply, which is shared with 4 other neighbouring properties. The bore hole, pump and filter plant room are within the grounds of this property. The water quality is very good, is regularly tested (by Craven Council), and has previously been tested to commercial standards (higher than residential), from when the house was previously used as a holiday let. The water plant has a separate, shared power supply, with costs currently equating to approx. £26 per month. Water testing costs in the region of £20 per year (costs per property). The other users of the water supply have a right of access to the plant room, via a pathway accessed from the back lane at the bottom corner of the garden – therefore, having little impact on privacy. SEPTIC TANK: The house also uses a shared septic tank (in the grounds of the neighbouring property). A benefit of having private water and septic facilities is that there are no water rates to pay.
