The property is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition as issued under the original planning consent from South Hams District Council.

In recent years, Coolings Farm has been operated as a commercial dairy enterprise with elements of infrastructure to support such livestock use. The farm buildings comprise of a range of general purpose modern farm buildings suitable for storage of agricultural inputs, machinery and fodder, livestock housing and handling systems, with former parlour and dairy buildings.

The land has been managed to a high standard for commercial agriculture with areas of the pasture land being reseeded in recent years.
