Farm building
An extended farm building, sub-divided internally to create two useful areas for livestock housing and general storage. The original building is 2 bays wide by 1 bay deep and is timber framed with a single pitched roof covered with corrugated sheeting. The extension has added 2 more bays to the side and is of similar, but steel framed, construction with timber stock walling and timber cladding. Both have a concrete base and front onto the concrete yard, with metal sheet and feed barrier gates.

The farm building is located in a concrete yard, accessed via a pair of field gates off the unmade track (public byway) which borders the land and leads to the roadside.

The land
Six field parcels in total covering around 17 acres. The land undulates and provides flexible grazing and stock management for cattle, sheep
or horses (subject to planning). The land is all laid to permanent pasture and is identified on the Cranfield University soil maps as Soilscape 6 – ‘Freely draining loamy soils’ with a long grazing season.
