Handsome pillars topped with lights announce arrival to Panfield. Automatic wrought iron gates open to a circular pea gravel drive graced by specimen trees, verdant lawns and manicured flower beds. It unfolds to stunning views of the impressive mansion. Set off by flowering cherry trees, the drive winds around an azure blue circular reflecting pool with centerpiece fountain in the forecourt.
