LAND
The land at Hayfield Barn is all contained within one rectangular compartment. The land extends out to the east and south of the buildings and comprises a large rectangular paddock with a smaller fenced second paddock. All of the land is a mix of moderately to very gently sloping permanent pasture, all capable of being grazed and mown for fodder.
