Vehicle access to the site would have to be from
Church Street (A591) – a main road and then via
the farm house buildings. This is where the A591
turns to 30mph for Windermere so traffic is still
travelling quite fast. This is also a busy road.
Some of the existing outbuildings are in poor
condition. These buildings are panelled farm
buildings – metal and concrete. Some, however,
may be worthy of conversion (to the west of the
site – closer to the farm house).
A public footpath runs through the farm.
The surrounding ground looks uneven in places.
Road has pavements leading in to Windermere
