Agricultural note The property has an assigned Agricultural Number, which means that one can sell hay and keep and move livestock (subject to required up to date licensing) and hire agricultural machinery (tractors, diggers etc) from the premises. This is not to be confused with an Agricultural Tie as there are no restrictions on ownership of the property.
The property also benefits from Commoners Rights, including rights of grazing for ponies, cattle, pigs and sheep. The Vendors have a brand assigned for the keeping of ponies on the forest. They do not take advantage of the Commoner Rights at the moment so anyone wishing to practice as a Commoner would need to check their own requirements with the Verderer's of The New Forest.
Services Mains water and electricity are connected. The central heating is oil fired and the property has a septic tank drainage system.
