At the rear, beyond the working water well, potting sheds and greenhouse, a 'secret door' opens into the circa 0.75 acre croft which is ideal for goats, geese, hens and perhaps a pony. There is direct vehicle access to the croft. There are fantastic views of the National Park from nearly all the garden space, barn and main house. A stunning location.
