Outbuildings -
There are a number of useful buildings which are in good overall condition and being ready for immediate use, to include:
- Traditional Long Barn. This benefits from a middle section which has been partially converted and many years ago used as a commercial office space, but as it stands provides good basic storage or room for hobbies and interests, for example it would make a good music room or art studio etc. From this room there is an adjoining storage room with concreate block built ammunition/firearms room, all having power and lighting. At the opposite end of the building there is a good size barn, ideal for animals/feed etc. This barn has excellent potential for conversion, subject to planning.
- Large Modern Barn. This was built in recent years and provides excellent space for machinery/equipment, with high sides and roof, allowing easy access for large vehicles, with power and lighting.
- Tractor Shed. Adjoining the traditional barn and providing good cover for machinery, again with high sides and roof.
- Small Block-Built Shed. Immediately opposite the dwelling and providing good basic storage, a W.C, power and lighting.
- Shipping Container. Offering basic storage.
Land -
The land amounts to approx. 35 acres in total and provides excellent quality pasture ideal for grazing. Please see the plan for identification. A section of the land borders the River Cowin which was once a famous Sewin and Salmon fishing river, with numerous swims and places of access to reach the water's edge. There is also a large wildlife pond in front of the dwelling, which provides an ideal habitat for water fowl and other wildlife. The seller of this property regularly sees a wide variety of bird and wildlife, which all adds to the lovely setting and lifestyle on offer.
