The buildings include one two storey barn, a single storey barn and a dutch barn. Units 1 and 2 will be included in the two storey traditional brick barn, both of which will benefit from a garage on the site of the existing dutch barn.

Outside, each unit will have ample car parking space and good sized gardens.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
