The Land
Garden Area
With its own fencing this area extends to approximately an acre. The whole is on a gentle south-facing slope and consists, at present, of the greenhouse located on a lawned area. There is also a hedged fruit and vegetable plot and another area suitable for root and fodder crops. These two areas are currently neglected but a cultivator or a couple of pigs would soon sort them out!
The Yard
To one side of the house is a flat area of hard standing, made up of gravel and stone, extending to approximately 1 acre. Although not totally aesthetically pleasing at present, its potential is enormous. It could be used for many different purposes such as polytunnels, stables or any business requiring outside space or further buildings. The previous owner was a mechanic and was able to store over 40 vehicles in this area.
The Pond
A large ‘V’ shaped pond fed by run off from the surrounding area and also via drains connected to the house gutters. 3’ at its deepest and with a gently sloping ‘entrance’ at one end. Currently used for ducks.
The Land
The land (9.03 acres in total) surrounds the property. Some steep sloping, some gently sloping but lots of flat areas. The area immediately around the house has been brought back up to standard however the other areas may need some work e.g. topping and / or ploughing and re-seeding. The whole, however, is certainly suitable for horses, sheep, goats or pigs as it is. There is a very small stream in the main paddock area which could be pooled to supply stock drinking water. The entire was newly stock-fenced at its perimeter approximately 2 years ago.
