Converted Pig Pen Annex – A fully equipped self-contained annex, ideal for a dependent relative, teenage independence, or a thriving holiday let. It features a wood burner, large bedroom with ensuite, fully fitted kitchen, segregated garden, and private sun deck.
Spacious Barn – Two floors, light, power, and water connected, with excellent potential for conversion into a separate dwelling (subject to planning).
Summer House & Pontoon – Perfectly positioned by the water for relaxing, fishing, or soaking up the peace and tranquility of the surroundings.
The estate sits behind a winding driveway, offering generous parking and turning space, with overflow parking available at the top.
