DESCRIPTION

The building measures approximately 16m x 7m, is of block construction with metal roof sheets and internally there is a concrete floor with some loose boxes and an open storage space. The roof sheets and timbers were replaced in 2023.

The grass land is level and is suitable for mowing and grazing with a former mill leat on the northern boundary and Bradiford Water on the southern boundary. The soils are described as being freely draining slightly acid loamy soils and is classified as grade 3a.
