The south-facing rear garden enjoys wonderful views over open farmland, offering a peaceful backdrop and excellent privacy.

For those with equestrian interests or requiring additional storage and workspace, the property offers exceptional facilities. Situated opposite the cottage is a modern brick-built stable block comprising four generous stables and a one feed room, complete with power, lighting and water supply. Adjacent to the stables is a fenced paddock extending to approximately 1.5 acre (subject to survey), providing excellent grazing or amenity land. A substantial workshop and additional log storage further enhance the versatility of the property.
