Adjoining this is lot 2, which comprises 34 acres. This lot could be sold with lot one as a small farm, or separately as grazing land together with a 10 acre oak wood.
Lot 3 is a 2 acre roadside grazing/mowing field which would make an ideal pony paddock.

Finally, lot 5 includes some excellent level roadside pasture land.
