Planning permission has been granted for the conversion of the existing outbuildings. The garage has a motor inspection pit and a door which provides access to the stunning side and rear garden areas. The superb landscaped gardens lie to the front of the property and drop down towards the river itself.

In addition, there is a small garden summer house bordered by traditional stone built walls and hedges. To the rear, there is a further courtyard area with a stone walling.
