OLD MILL STABLES - COMMERCIAL YARD With the benefit of independent access from the principal dwelling, Old Mill Stables has historically been used as an equestrian and leisure business, having taken various forms over the years, it was latterly used as a caravan site before being decommissioned, though it is understood much of the hard-standing remains, as do the on-site electric points.

The commercial site currently comprises three further stables and a block-built structure. The site is separately rated for business registration and utilities and may therefore suit a number of uses, subject to the relevant permissions.

Outside Electric double gates open to a large sweeping gravel drive complete with central island that provides extensive PARKING for several vehicles and providing vehicular access to the stable yard and outbuilding.

The grounds are divided into distinct areas to include a large formal garden complete with terracing and enjoying views over paddocks and fields beyond.

The stable yard consists of 3 LOOSE BOXES of about 12' x 12' manufactured by Hunters and finished with rubber matting. There is a HAYBARN of approximately 16' x 16' and a TACK ROOM of about 12' x 10'.

The remainder of the grounds, paddocks and fields abut the River Lark.
