Farmstead & Lands
The farm is contained within one unit, a rectangular shaped block with the house and farmstead positioned about two-thirds back into the farm from the public road and serviced off an excellent internal tarred roadway that runs down the centre of the farm and branches off to the house and farmstead and a secondary gravelled roadway, accessing the north-western side of the farm. This gives excellent access throughout the farm off hard roadways.
The land is mainly in tillage production at present and in suitably large divisions but is equally suited to grass production and, indeed, there are water troughs throughout the farm from when it was operating as a mixed farm.
A traditional farmstead comprises a range of lofted and single storey outbuildings, which comprises various stores and stabling in 10 loose boxes. Adjacent to this yard is a more modern farmyard with a 12 span loose shed, two 10 span loose sheds, a 6 span loose shed and 2 outdoor silage clamps.
