The property is serviced by mains electricity and water. Foul drainage is to a septic tank. The property features uPVC double glazing throughout and central heating by way of a gas boiler.

Forest View sits within a residential curtilage of about 0.44 acre which extends in a rectangular shape. The garden extends principally to the north and east with a lawned area to the north and east.

Directly south of Forest View in between the garage and the property is a paved enclosed patio area providing a wonderful space for alfresco dining.

Outbuilding, Yard & Polytunnels
Directly south of Forest View, on the south side of the third-party track is the yard and building. The building is a high spec custom built poultry and fowl processing plant with concrete and coated floors and whitewashed walls equipped with holding fridges, blast chiller, EV room, waxing room, packing room, stunning area, feather room, bleed area, dry pack room, dirty changing area, toilets, canteen area and overhead office. Set over three main sections the building is sensibly laid out and could be used for a number of other commercial uses (subject to planning).

The vendors applied for a Certificate of lawful Existing Use or Development (CLEUD) which was granted on 13th October 2023 confirming the building has been used for general industrial (Use Class B2) and that the continued use of the building for general industrial (Use Class B2) purposes is lawful. Externally to the east, south and west of the building is the extensive concrete yard area.

A central track then leads from the buildings up through the land. Positioned either side of the central track at intervals are the six polytunnel stations. Each station has a concreted base (130ft x 60 ft) with mains electricity and water connected. Of the six pads two still have polytunnel structures on them. There is also an additional polytunnel area directly east of the yard. These structures and bases could be used for a range of uses and certainly would be of interest to purchasers looking to set up glamping in the area. 

The building, yard and polytunnel bases provide an excellent commercial building and areas that could be used to support any poultry enterprise or general industrial business but could also be used for a range of possible alternative uses subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

The land is all level improved leys all suitable to be grazed or mown for fodder and as the field enclosures are of a regular size all the fields could be subdivided further.

It certainly provides a very productive extensive parcel of land that could support any livestock enterprise.
