It has CCTV and an alarm which links via sim/phone to a chosen number if activated. The second outbuilding to the south was also constructed by the owners. It is fully insulated and has electricity, mains water, concrete floor and insulated electric roller door. There is a flight of stairs leading to a first-floor area.
