LAND & OUTBUILDINGS
Benefitting from an idyllic rural location, the property has previously been run as a sheep farm, and would be well suited to long-term tenants wishing to create a rural lifestyle. The variety of multipurpose farm buildings lend themself well to small scale hobby farming or equestrian use, whilst the paddocks encircle the farmhouse on all elevations.

There are a range of traditional stone outbuildings which create a useful courtyard to the rear of the property, conveniently accessed from a door off the main living and dining area. The courtyard would lend itself well to adapting to various stables, or alternative uses as may be required. The courtyard opens up to the back with adjoining buildings, mainly clad in steel sheeting and some benefit from concrete floors providing great scope for someone to make good for their intended use, subject to landlord approval and planning as may be required.

Gardens sit to the front of the property, recently levelled into functionable tiers, providing a blank canvas for an avid gardener to enjoy.

The land is undulating and stock proof with water connected, in all equates approximately 13.2 acres. There is potentially an additional 20 acres, subject to separate negotiation, that could be made available, neighboring Little Wood Farm.
