With sustainability and the environment in mind, the property benefits from its own wind turbine and solar panels. There is biomass heating system in the main house, with hot water provided by additional solar panels.
The grounds adjacent to the house and cottages are arranged as gardens and two paddocks which extend to around 3 acres.
