A short distance from the house there are a number of outbuildings which include a large 4 bay steel-framed barn (80’ x 43’) with 4 internal loose boxes, and a separate workshop and garden store. The land then surrounds the house and buildings and is made up of permanent pasture, woodland, a small natural lake, and river frontage on the Monnow.
