The pasture has recently been used for grazing and mowing but could be used for other purposes. Within the woodland are two ponds and areas could be cleared so that it can be enjoyed for amenity purposes. Alternatively, it could be used for conservation. Please note, the photos of the land were taken in June 2024 and a timber building has since been removed.
