The Fishery
The large lake was dug out around 80 years ago with the clay being used to manufacture bricks. The average depth is believed to be 8ft and the water supply is via the water table. It is approx. ¾ of an acre and stocked with a variety of coarse fish including carp to 22lb, tench to 5lbs and bream to 6lbs. The smaller pond is stocked with various small coarse and silver fish.

The Lodges
In 2007 planning permission was obtained to change the static caravans on site to four log cabin style units. These are situated facing the orchard and are of similar design offering accommodation comprising 2 bedrooms, bathroom, fitted kitchen and living room. The units are double glazed and have central heating.

The cabins have a holiday occupancy condition restricting them to being let only from 1st March to 30th October in any one year.

Outbuildings
There is a single brick built garage with a workshop and lean-to storage.

The second building is of brick and timber construction. This building was fitted out with male and female shower and toilets and a café. The building is now used as a workshop and storage.
