The total water area extends to approximately 3 acres. The fishery is otter fenced with a three-strand electric wire.
The lakes are well stocked with mixed coarse fish species, including specimen carp to 30lbs, together with tench to 9lbs, perch to 5lbs bream to 7lbs, roach and rudd to 2lbs.
The fishery has a timber framed workshop and machinery store with concrete floor. In addition is a modern, steel framed building providing angler's W.C.s and shower (not currently connected).
