Though the property requires considerable investment and upgrading in order to realise its full potential, its desirable location combined with the current infrastructure provides all the essential components required to create a fantastic equestrian property. The property is approached via a long drive, a spur off which leads round to the front of the house, flanked by lawn inset with fruit trees. The main drive continues to the equestrian yard and facilities.
