At the top of this wood there is a belvédère (panoramic view point)currently overgrown. Outbuildings comprise of two large attached open barns, a huge storeroom/potting shed and buried under years of ivy a stone ruin! The garden and rear of the property is accessed via the stone archway with double timber doors. There is a stone wall surrounding the land.
