Introduction - Pipers is a rural small-holding which offers multiple development opportunities set within 9.22 acres (3.73 hectares).

The House - Pipers Farmhouse is not Listed and has a south-facing aspect with mostly rendered stone walls under a slate roof (material unknown). The current accommodation requires improvement throughout with a sitting room, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor and four bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.
