Sporting The estate is well equipped to provide an entertaining family shoot with undulating ground and extensive raised areas of woodland with high seats for the stalking of Roe deer. There are five fishing lakes of varying sizes which have been developed and improved by the current owners and are currently stocked and used for coarse fishing. There is further potential for the development of flight ponds which would be suited to the topography of the estate. There are delightful walks and rides over the estate and surrounding countryside. There is golf at Salisbury and other local courses. The Property The Long House was converted from a former Shire Horse centre and offers very generous and flexible accommodation over two floors which lends itself superbly to a comfortable, contemporary lifestyle. The property is approached over a gravel drive, flanked by lawns and mature trees leading to a turning and parking area adjacent to the front door. The drive continues around the eastern side of the house and provides access to the estate. From the drive a spur leads to the rear of the house which, with the barn, forms an attractive courtyard setting.

Planning Consents Planning permission is in place for a triple garage block located just off the corner of the courtyard. Further details from a well respected local planning expert confirm that Barn Cottage and East Wing would be likely to receive a certificate of lawful use as they have been used and let for four years. This is available in the agents office. The Land The land amounts to approximately 106 acres (43.1 hectares) and at present is used for fishing, cattle and sheep grazing, and the woodland is let to a local shooting syndicate. The fishing is at present let again to a local fishing syndicate but in the agents opinion there is further potential to commercialise this. There is also a steel portal frame barn measuring 89ft x 14ft including a separate area for storage measuring 29ft x 14ft and a mezzanine floor over this area. There is also a separate toilet block with two toilets. This building and toilet block were installed with a view to expanding the fishing enterprise. The vendor receives a Rural Payment agency entitlement of approximately 6,000 per year and this has already been claimed for the 2015 farming year. The right to this collection will pass with the sale of the property. There is a Roman fortification on the north eastern corner of the land.
