Is there a way I can find out how much of our land is the curtilage and how much is agricultural? Would it be as simple as taking off the land that used to be eligible for rural payments?

This is the layout from above, Hopefully my (rubbish!) additions in word make sense..... Pictures- House1 - The two big rectangle grey buildings are dutch barns (open-sided) straw barns, the L shaped brown roofed barn is an unrenovated cow byre (also straw) the smallest brown roof is our...

Hi, I will try and sort a plan of the house and post it. Ah, I see what you mean re curtilage, I suppose there is about an acre of garden around the house (excluding an orchard and paddock)
