There is a workshop, garage and the six barns providing significant potential for redevelopment. The farmhouse enjoys gardens to the front and rear of the property that are mainly laid to lawn and bordered by a variety of mature specimen trees and hedgerow. Far reaching views over the neighbouring countryside can be enjoyed from most of the property’s grounds.
