The motorway can also be joined at Junction 26 at Wellington, being 4 miles away. The property has a wonderful balance of country living with exceptional accessibility.

Description - Grassy Rivets was built in 1984 and previously had an agricultural tie, which explains how the house was constructed in open countryside.

Outside - The property is approached via a long tarmac driveway flanked by lawns and includes an attractive wildlife lake with adjoining flower and shrubs.

At the front of the property, there are several rockery garden sections, whilst the more formal garden sections are located to the North and West. At the rear of the property, there are further outbuildings that are currently used as a garden store, but formally stables.
A gate off the main entrance driveway, provides access to a fenced and gravelled area, which contains a new American style barn measuring 60 x 40. This is sub divided into stables and also has power, light and water connected. The building is constructed of concrete block, timber boarding and a box profile roof and is highly adaptable for a variety of uses.

The property is surrounded by permanent pasture, which is divided into conveniently sized enclosures and extends to approximately 5 acres.
