The Farm Buildings

The Detached Stone Granary Building

This is situated immediately adjacent to the farmhouse.  It has potential for conversion; having had planning permission in 2003 for change of use to form a residential annexe on the ground floor and a holiday unit to the first floor. 

The Traditional Stone Farm Buildings 

There is also a very useful and tidy range of traditional stone farm buildings which are nicely situated on the south east side of the steading.  These buildings are made up of a range of loose boxes, stables, pig houses and former fold yards.  They also have potential for conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission.
