The charming gardens and grounds at Hopewood are well-maintained, providing an immediate garden adjoining the house and annexe which is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by neatly clipped evergreen hedging and post-and-rail fencing. There are paved terraces offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation, with mature and specimen trees offering dappled shade in the heat of the summer.

Three pathways provide easy access to the extensive equestrian facilities and, for vehicles, there is also separate access along the lane beyond the gravelled driveway which leads to the house. The facilities include ten stables, a 20m x 52m manège, Lunge arena, horse walker, fenced paddocks and a grassed canter track around the perimeter of the paddocks.

For all horse riding and walking enthusiasts this superb equestrian property is excellently situated for ease of access onto the chalk downland of Salisbury Plain.
