Gardens, Grounds and Outbuildings
on approaching Wellwood farm the drive splits with the left hand fork leading to a large gravelled
parking/turning area adjoining the house, cottage and garages. The right hand fork leads to a
newly built stable block with three loose boxes (space for more if needed) and tack room. There
is planning permission in place to erect a further outbuilding.
The formal gardens comprise lawns and paved terraces and a lake lies to the north of the house
providing a superb setting for this distinctive property.
The Land
Wellwood farm enjoys a private and secluded location. The land enjoys a north westerly aspect
in the main and comprises permanent pasture and long time leys which have undergone
improvement in recent years. The majority of the enclosures are bordered by broadleaf
hedgerows and trees and located to the north western corner of the farm is a small area of
broadleaf woodland known as Cowleaze Coppice. The land enjoys excellent access from the
main driveway to the farmhouse and buildings and has been used in recent years for grazing of
livestock and mowing for hay and silage. The gentle topography and absence of footpaths would
also suit both private and commercial equestrian use and the land is served by a separately
metered mains water supply. Sporting rights are in hand and run with the freehold.
