There is a further area of garden to the rear of one of the outbuildings which is mainly laid to lawn. In all the grounds extend to 4.01 acres or thereabouts. The land is currently used for grazing and is separated into two paddocks and an enclosed garden which is directly behind the barn. The smaller paddock, adjacent to the cowshed, could quite easily be used as separate enclosed garden, should it be converted into living accommodation. This would provide both the barn and the cowshed with delightful gardens which would have open views across the countryside. The larger paddock benefits by from roadside gated access. There are two outbuildings which have the potential to convert (subject to obtaining the relevant planning permissions) and develop into residential/ancillary accommodation, both of which would benefit from delightful views across the countryside. The first outbuilding is a brick-built barn which has beautiful A frame timbers, exposed beams and a mezzanine floor. The second outbuilding, currently used as a workshop and carport, was a former cowshed and is single storey, also brick built with attractive, exposed A frame timber beam work.
