Additional Info

Cover Crops
Previous shoot tenants have established game cover crops across the estate to improve the quality of the shooting. The shoot tenant is responsible for the costs of establishing, maintaining and the management of the plots. A separate game cover crop rent is paid per acre.

Buildings
There is a range of general purpose farm buildings located at Coombe Farm that are currently used as a base for the shoot. The buildings provide a building for beaters to meet and eat, an area for a cold store, storage for machinery and equipment, feed silos and parking facilities.
These facilities can be made available to rent.

Staff
The current shoot tenant directly employs keepers. Previous tenants have engaged the services of a shoot manager. The landowner would like to see a similar arrangement continue. The shoot has an established team of helpers who assist the shoot staff and who offer support and take part in beating and picking up on shoot days.

Staff Accommodation
The Shoot includes two residential properties from the Estate as accommodation for the game keepers.
1 Coombe Lodge
