The property stands within a delightful rural setting and is offered with approximately 48.3 acres of land situated around the homestead. The land is largely comprised of gently sloping grazing pastures with pockets of natural tree and woodland cover, providing excellent shelter and visual appeal. The holding also benefits from a separate roadside access at a lower level, making it practical and versatile for agricultural or equestrian use.

The farm is complemented by a traditional range of stone and brick outbuildings, including former shippon, stabling, loose boxes and a brick-built open cart shed with adjoining former dairy. These character buildings offer scope for continued agricultural use or potential alternative uses (subject to consent).

In addition, there is a more modern selection of agricultural buildings providing extensive housing and storage facilities. These include a range of timber/steel and corrugated barns, together with a hay barn, agricultural storage sheds with lean-to stabling, and three-bay feeding/animal housing sheds with adjoining yard area.

Collectively, the buildings provide a useful combination of traditional and modern facilities, well-suited to livestock, equestrian or general farming use.
