There is a garage/store and a wood store further towards the paddock and also a small stable and field shelter in the paddocks behind the house.

The overall plot included with the house extends to approx. 8.5 acres (STM) The majority of the land is used for grazing sheep and growing hay. There are various separate entrances to the land from the road allowing for multiple uses. Much of the land was newly fenced with stock fencing in 2021. The remaining land that’s included is used for a dog training business and the owners poultry keeping, vegetable garden and gardens.

One paddock contains the polytunnel which measures approx. 9m x 33m. It has a white cover to reduce heat and also ventilation screens down both sides. It is currently used for dog training but is suitable for numerous uses. Please note: The astroturf flooring is not included in the sale but may be available by separate negotiation.

There is another small paddock heading back towards the house again lined by mature trees along the road.
