OUTSIDE:

The property is approached from the public highway over a part concrete surfaced driveway, which belongs to the property, but over which adjacent property owners have a right of way.  A short spur off the driveway, just above the dwelling, is shaded by well-established conifers and provides parking space for at least two vehicles. There is a pedestrian gateway into the gardens, which are down to lawn on various levels enclosed by fences and hedges with various shrubs, stone features and a small feature pond. Close to the dwelling at the upper end is a useful Storage Container 20’11” x 8’1” with a timber floor and having fluorescent lighting & power connected as well as a water tap.

 

THE OUTBUILDINGS:

To the opposite side of the driveway spur, and with separate vehicular access a little further up the driveaway, is a grassed enclosure with a detached General Purpose Building 60’ x 58’ approximately of pole-barn type construction with a mono-pitch corrugated iron clad roof and side-cladding. There is a double doored entrance, the earth floor is on two principal levels, the upper section including two loose boxes, whilst the lower section is sub-divided by concrete blockwork walls into ten rearing pens.

 

THE LAND:

To the north and west of the garden enclosure is a small pasture field, well sheltered on three sides by a band of mixed broad-leaf and coniferous trees.  The remaining land, virtually all of which is down to pasture, is comprised in three fields with a combination of fences and hedges as well as a good number of mainly deciduous hedgerow trees. The lower field runs to the roadside and is flanked by the driveway on its northern side, whilst there are two other fields running upwards to the east.  These have two small surface water courses and a small pond surrounded by trees and provide interesting habitat as well the potential for the watering of livestock. In one of the upper enclosures, near to its entrance gateway off the driveway, is a Stock Shelter 39’ x 19’ approx. of timber construction with steel and timber side panels, this building being in need of some maintenance. The land has a westerly aspect and is accordingly well in the eye of the afternoon sun.
