There is ample parking to the side of the house where you will find steps rise up to the elevated stone paved terrace which provides ample space for outside entertaining and from where you can take in those breath-taking views. A stone path and steps take you up through the garden and grassland. The stone-built barn at the rear of the house has access either from the garden or up the lane at the side and through the metal field gate. There are the ruins of other outbuildings adjoining each side of the barn. It all offers potential for conversion/rebuild to create a separate dwelling or annexe to the main house (all subject to any necessary planning permission/listed building consent). At the opposite side of the road is another piece of land which is laid to grass. The total size of the whole amounts to 0.7 acres.
