OutbuildingsThere remains a great deal of outbuilding that has not yet been developed, including a former two storey cottage, a garage, and various smaller 'rooms'. In total, the outbuildings cover about 200m2.
ExteriorThe house, barn and space between have been used to create an attractive low maintenance courtyard garden, lending itself well to being a second or holiday home. To one corner of the courtyard garden is an above-ground pool.Just across the lane is another garden (650m2) - ideal as a vegetable garden and fruit orchard.
