Description

Coimbra is believed to have originally been two farm cottages and a bothy, which have been converted into one, and extended. It was originally part of Smedley's Fruit Farm. The original parts are stone built, and harled with a slate roof, whilst the extension is block built. The house has been owned by the sellers for some 20 years. It is an attractive and well laid out house. With the exception of bedrooms 1 and 2 the principal rooms are double glazed.

It is an attractive rural property, yet situated close to the village of Muirhead.
