The farm is being offered for sale as a whole or in four Lots.

Lot 1 The Farmhouse - The farmhouse is a delightful, traditional, four-bedroom house built of dressed stone and whitewashed under a pitched slate roof. It extends to approximately 1,981 sq. ft. and provides bright, spacious, and well-presented accommodation, comprising:

Ground Floor: Entrance Hall, kitchen, sitting room, dining room, office, snug, utility and bathroom.

First Floor: Landing area, four bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom and family bathroom.

The house adjoins a range of stone buildings currently utilised as part of the farming operation but could easily be used to extend the house if required.

There is a large area of garden to the back of the house and across the farmyard to the front, adding greatly to the amenity of the house.

Lot 1 Land - The farmhouse and buildings are lotted with 7.32 acres including excellent grazing and mowable ground surrounding the property to the riverbank. It includes three main field enclosures and an extensive area of garden and yard.

Lot 1 Farm Buildings - The farm has a diverse range of modern and traditional farm buildings, including a substantial stone-built byer adjoining the farmhouse, a two-storey stone barn complete with dog loft and lean-to and a number of former farrowing sheds. Most of these farm buildings would benefit from upgrading to continue to be used for modern agricultural purposes. They do, however, offer significant scope for conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

The main building is a modern steel portal frame general purpose shed (90’ x 45’) with concrete block walls with timber side cladding, a fibre cement roof and a part concrete / earth floor. The building is in the southeast corner of the farmyard and is in good condition. It has both electricity and water.

There also remain two timber-built specialist pig buildings in the central yard area and a covered midden which provide useful storage, and an extensive footprint should there be a need for more modern sheds to be erected in future.
