Externally
Adjacent to the farmhouse is a south facing garden and a traditional stone barn that has been converted into a farmhouse utility room/laundry room together with an office/gym area with shower room off. Adjacent to this is a tack room and a very useful farm utility room. This whole building has potential for conversion into accommodation. We have been informed by the owners that it has planning consent and a building regulations certificate for an annexe. Across the concrete yard lie a number of useful modern outbuildings including Dutch barn with lean-to on both sides, stables with 5 loose boxes, kennels, and steel-frame general purpose buildings.
