Three stables at ground level and a connecting large store plus 4th stable. Upper floor main barn with high ceilings.
THE WAGON HOUSE
A detached open-ended barn with small store connecting to the side.
All the outbuildings are constructed of stone and cob under a corrugated roof. They are in need of repair but offer a great opportunity for re-development (subject to planning consents).
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The property is approached from the road into the main entrance drive which runs between the outbuildings opening into the yard with a duck pond to the side. The grounds extend to the side of the drive and is bordered by a very pretty stream which runs along the boundary of the land.
The main garden lies to the front of the farmhouse. A graveled pathway leads out from the house following through established borders offering a wealth of attractive herbaceous borders and ornamental trees. Pretty pergolas with a variety of climbers lead the way through the garden to seating areas enjoying the stunning views out across the valley to the far distance. Beyond the formal gardens are the vegetable garden area, an old orchard and a greenhouse.
A gateway beyond leads to the fields which extend to approaching 9.5 acres. This land has separate access off the road and is available by separate negotiation.
