FARM BUILDINGS
Central to the site is an attractive L shaped stable block (the thoroughbred stables) comprising 7 large loose boxes with a feed store (1,939 sq ft) of mixed brick and block elevations, with part timber weather boarding under a pitched tiled roof. This building may offer potential for conversion, subject to planning permission.

In addition to the buildings previously described attaching to numbers 1 and 2 Stud Farm Cottages, there is a further yard and buildings located to the south of the site, where the current owners have run a fencing and contractors yard.
