In one corner is an area enclosed by low walls and a gate that has been set up very neatly as a home allotment/growing area with 4 or 5 growing beds, and adjacent to this are two good size workshop/studios; both with mains power. The property is extremely well-maintained, and represents a very exciting opportunity for someone.

The property has a total of ten solar panels with a battery, and there is an air-source heat pump providing heat for the property via a central heating system. The EPC rating here was generated prior to many of the improvements made by the owner.
