Buildings
The property includes a range of traditional buildings and a former sheep shed located to the north and east of the farmhouse. The traditional buildings are located immediately to the north of the house providing a wonderful, enclosed courtyard with ample parking for several vehicles. The buildings are single storey and constructed of traditional stone with a combination of slate, profile metal sheet and asbestos cement sheet roof coverings. The buildings have an approximate footprint of 391sq.m (GEA). These attractive buildings require some upgrade but could offer scope for alternative uses such as conversion to residential units or creation of one larger home or holiday accommodation or even a home office/games/gym (subject to obtaining planning permission). The former sheep shed (29.8m x 14m) comprises a pole barn with corrugated iron sheet cladding and roof covering with earth floor. Despite the building nearing the end of its useful life it currently provides a large area of extremely useful, dry storage. Should the building be removed, there could be scope for re-development of the site (subject to obtaining planning permission).
