The remaining grounds are currently utilized as paddocks.

Car enthusiasts will appreciate the extensive garage and ample parking space located at the end of a long, double-gated driveway. Furthermore, the property comes with planning consent for two new houses. The proposed development, designed by the acclaimed local architects Kirkland Fraser Moor, includes a six-bedroom, two-storey structure integrated into the hillside, featuring a guest annexe at the southern end of the site. This design aims to maximize the uninterrupted panoramic views of the rolling countryside. Although the new build is contemporary in style, it pays homage to the local rural vernacular, focusing on light, views, and materials. The orientation of the home is intended to optimize passive solar gain in the main living spaces through expansive southeast-facing glazing. The designs prioritize high sustainability standards with a low carbon footprint, offering versatile, spacious living areas enhanced by extensive glazing and a simple palette of polished concrete and locally sourced warm brick with lime mortar.. The result will be handsome, contemporary homes in a beautiful rural setting, with a plan layout maximizing and framing the sweeping surrounding vistas Green, fully planted roofs to both dwellings and tall brick chimneys designed as "ecology towers" will ensure that the built-up areas will uplift the flora/fauna biodiversity of the overall plot and contribute to the water attenuation and visual impact within the open setting.
