Potential Development
With a total of 3.5 acres and a substantial barn attached to the cottage it is easy to see that there is potential to develop this site further. We feel sure that all alterations, conversions or additions will attract the need for planning approval and would encourage any interested parties to make their own enquiries before any commitment to purchase. Please note that we are of the opinion that it is highly unlikely that a prospective purchaser would obtain planning approval to demolish the existing building in favour of a completely new scheme.

Grounds
The overall ground extends to some 3.5 acres including the pond. It is currently divided into pond-side gardens, a paddock, a field and a stable yard. This is an idyllic spot peripheral to Ryde with Smallbrook Lane to one side and miles of countryside to the other. Fisherman's Cottage sits adjacent to Smallbrook Farm which is now residential and no longer run as a working farm.

Pond
A natural pond edged by trees and filled with reeds and fish. As the water level naturally rises in times of heavy rain drainage pipes and a channel will take away excess water to feed in to local water courses.

Parking
The graveled parking areas accessed via 5-bar gates with plenty of parking space for vehicles.
