Additional Info

The Outbuildings and Farmyard
The traditional farm courtyard is framed by two large stone barn ranges that are currently used for storage/stabling but have the potential for conversion into further accommodation (stp – subject to planning).

The stone buildings comprise two imposing structures on opposite ends of the former yard the western block is an “L” shaped slated building formerly the cowshed and measures about 76’ x 53’ along the main walls. The eastern block is again “L” shaped and was formerly the stables and cart house and is about 78’ in length. Both these buildings would lend themselves to conversion to self-contained properties or holiday lets - (stp).

To the rear of the western stone barn is a modern block built workshop about 11 metres x 5.6 metres externally with power and light connected - two floors and fitted out with wall and floor units, workbenches running the length of the workshop.

Beyond the stone barns and traditional courtyard is a dedicated concrete farmyard area with large useful yards and a range of modern outbuildings that are suited for livestock, horses, ponies, feed, machinery, storage and workshop uses. These buildings include a former brick built milking parlour (about 42’ x 19’), Four bay Dutch barn (about 60’ in length) with full length lean-tos on either side. Opposite is a large and useful general purpose ‘Atcost type’ building (about 19 metres x 14 metres) with another attached Dutch Barn with two lean-tos.

The Land
Lying either side and to the rear of the farmstead are a series of pasture fields, a block of mature woodland and a belt of woods that borders a stream. The pasture land is perfect for those who wish to keep livestock, horses, ponies etc being ideal for grazing, hay and silage making. In all, the property extends to about 52 acres. It also benefits from excellent accessibility, with frontage onto a council-maintained road providing convenient direct access to the farmhouse, traditional and modern outbuildings and a number of the fields.
