The site consists of the main building with an outer building/store room, both constructed from reinforced concrete with a felt flat roof and PVC windows; a purpose built basketball court; all surrounded by a generous amount of grass, perfect for tent pitching; parking spaces connected via a gravel drive way and a fence which surrounds the perimeter of the site.
