OUTBUILDINGS There is a traditional range of outbuildings with obvious scope for development to a host of uses, subject to the relevant planning permissions. The Granary consists of a brick, stone and timber construction and is detached with good circulation around it providing opportunities for ample parking and garden space if so desired. The building, which measures approx. 1850ft2 over two floors, comprises three individual stables on one side, then open fronted on the other side via attractive archways. The building offers excellent scope for change of use/redevelopment opportunity.

The open-fronted steel portal frame buildings adjacent to the pasture provides an excellent opportunity for users to install further stabling and equestrian facilities. They equally offer excellent storage and possible development potential. The large agricultural buildings closest to the road consist of three main attached units forming livestock housing, workshop space and further storage facilities. These may have excellent development and commercial use potential.
