Stone and modern buildings: There are a range of outbuildings including a Dutch barn open to two sides, a two storey stone building which has been extensively renovated with the addition of a damp course, re-roofing and pointing and new floors with radon protection and now has full planning permission for conversion into a four bedroom property ideal for either ancillary accommodation or offering the potential to earn an income. There is a further two storey stone ‘cottage’ which has also been completely restored with new roof, re-pointing and new windows, a newly constructed four bay open fronted garage and a more modern building which has to one side original cows stalls and the other a ‘lean-to’ garage ideal for garden tractors, mowing machines etc. There is a further shed used as a log store and finally a wooden shed which is somewhat dilapidated.

Land: Behind the buildings is a large stack yard/paddock which opens into a good-sized field which has been planted to one corner with trees. The other land is also accessed up behind the buildings and comprises three fields ideal for someone either with horses or wishing to run a smallholding.
