Pandy Farm
Pandy Farm is set in 13 acres of undulating pastureland. At the centre of the holding is a pretty 3 bedroomed cottage, which dates back some 300 years. The property has great charm but requires considerable improvement to achieve a modern standard of living. To the side of the cottage and detached from it is a 1 bedroom annexe, formerly part of the garage. Outside there is a range of steel framed outbuildings adjacent to the house, incorporating internal stables, which extend to some 3,500 ft2 and originate from Dutch barns which have been extended. The buildings provide scope for improvement or replacement. Beyond is a block of 3 wooden stables and a manège with a silica sand/ rubber surface. The land is divided into 6 stock proof paddocks, most with water. To the southwest of the property a gate leads directly out onto Bica Common and Wentwood Forest beyond. A small brook forms the northern boundary of the property.
