The outbuildings include a 540 sq ft garage, an 8500 sq ft barn with office space, breakout area and storage rooms and a further detached barn with a total of 1850 square feet.

This flexibility opens up opportunities for local and mid-sized developers to explore and capitalise on the site’s potential.
