paddock located at the far end of the steading. (Although not included in the home report valuation as this is classed as a moveable item the advertised price does include the
shepherds hut) The quiet and peaceful woodland setting makes this wonderful property a haven for a variety of birds and wildlife which frequently visit the garden and woodland.
