There is a generous driveway with parking for numerous vehicles which, in-turn, is bordered by several outbuildings.

To the rear of the property, landscaped gardens continue to include a lawn and patio area. There is good circulation space around the buildings.

CREW YARD AND OUTBUILDINGS

On the north side of the property is a fine range of traditional single-storey brick and pantile outbuildings grouped together around a traditional crew yard. There are endless opportunities to utilize this space according to needs and preferences to include a further home working area; a gymnasium; or an annex for those wanting to generate additional income. West Lindsey District Council have issued a positive Pre-App for ancillary and annex conversion of the barns. Additional possibilities may be available subject to planning. The group of barns also features an attractive open fronted cart shed and has its own amenity area and separate access to the village road. This includes a driveway formed in road plannings with parking / manoeuvring space.

LAND

Extending north and east is grassland which, with a small pond feature, is bordered by mature hedges with a separate field gate to the village road. Water is laid on to the field and crew yard buildings.
