The Outbuildings

The property benefits from a range of outbuildings providing useful storage and ancillary accommodation, with potential for further development subject to the necessary consents. The barn, featuring stone elevations beneath a pantile roof, has been partially converted to provide two self-contained annexes, together with a double-height storage area and additional low-level store room. Both annexes offer open-plan living accommodation with kitchenettes, shower rooms and mezzanine bedroom areas.

To the south lies a level field of approximately 2.5 acres, incorporating an established apple orchard that was previously used for cider production. Adjacent to this, to the east, is an attractive area of mature woodland, providing both privacy and natural interest. A further paddock of approximately 1.4 acres includes a field shelter and offers excellent potential for equestrian or smallholding use.

Additional areas comprise a former tennis court paddock, together with hardstanding providing convenient access to the stables, barn, and various outbuildings. We understand that the fields and paddocks are designated for agricultural use.

The gardens at Rose Farm have been beautifully maintained by the current owners, creating a colourful and established setting throughout the seasons.
