The Farm
Peaslows Farmhouse is a stone built farmhouse which benefits from 3 double bedrooms,

The Farm has until recently been the base of a highly productive dairy unit housing a 230 head dairy herd producing an average of 12,500 litres in addition to young stock and followers. Approximately 370 animals were housed on the farm.

Included in these are the milking parlour, dairy unit with 188 cubicles and mattresses, a further cubicle building with electric scrapers and further livestock and general purpose buildings.
The dairy unit is built on slats which provide 100,000 gallons of underground storage.

supply supplying the cattle sheds and solar panels delivering around £8,000 of benefit per
annum.
