Grounds & Outbuildings

The formal entrance to the property is a gravelled drive with plenty of parking up to a modern storage building. To the rear is Hornbeam screened terrace areas with a southerly aspect, lawns, and a direct outlook to the first paddock. This has been mown to keep neat and houses a traditional Shepherds Hut which can be available, strictly by separate negotiation. A wide, separate concrete access drive leads up to the main gates to the yard and outbuildings. The initial access is by right of access. The extensive yard areas contain several buildings of varying conditions. There are 7578 sq ft of immediately usable storage space, workshop, barn, and stables as well as the former barns with lower ceiling heights (un-measured) as well as a dilapidated brick barn. However, these unusable barns do provide the footprint for replacement buildings. The buildings have stood for 40 years (without initial permissions), albeit are now established. Historically used for farming, as a builders storage yard, and as equestrian facilities. The large workshop is divided into two rooms with storage and there is also a pole barn.

Equestrian Facilities

The Stable block is a corale fence enclosed with gated access. There are 8 stables. 6 are pony size (4 could be altered to become 2 full size if required) and two Full-size boxes for horses. In addition, there is a tack/feed room and large storeroom which has up until recently been used as a comfy groom’s room. Adjacent is a 40 x 20m manege which requires a new membrane and surface, albeit all the infrastructure of drainage and groundworks remains good. The stables have a large security light over the arena. The remaining acreage comprise two further large paddock areas.

Agents Notes

• The Property has two registered title deeds. EX666241 and EX784795
• Our client has completed a Propertymark Questionnaire providing additional information for buyers. We further hold the Electrical and Boiler commissioning report.
• The concrete drive is owned by the neighbouring property with a formal easement (right of access) up to the metal yard gates.
• Historically (since at least 1980/40 + years) the yard and outbuildings have had mixed uses (with no formal permissions) including a builders storage yard, a piggery/smallholding, equestrian facilities, and Beekeeping with honey productions.
• There is a disused private scrap yard nearby which is so well screened, it can only be seen from an aerial view. The fact that the area has a history of mixed uses, might benefit the incoming buyer with their own ideas/plans.
