The current owners have recently heavily invested in the refurbishment of the detached barn and annex to provide high quality letting accommodation which is now in it's first full season with strong forward bookings.

The higher paddock, previously referred to, has been left to revert to nature with wide pathways and grassy areas amongst the trees.
