Water from the cottages is from a borehole and is filtered via UV which would be able to be connected to the barn once it is converted. There is a 3000 litre holding tank that sits to the rear of games room/store building.

The other cottages have power provided by separate solar panels with the main farmhouse being on mains electric. This barn specifically has 20 solar panels on the roof.

The current cottages have drainage to a septic tank which we have the understanding that this barn will also be able to be added.
