The majority of the land is divided into paddocks with the remainder set to woodland and several delightful  small ponds. The property provides excellent equestrian facilities that include a large stable block of over 30 stables, indoor arena, tack room and fodder storage. The vendor currently operates a thorough bred breeding operation from the site.
