The farmhouse is flanked by attractive traditional farm buildings which lend themselves to a wide variety of uses (STP).
The farm is equipped with modern buildings and is surrounded by a ring fence of 270 acres, offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion. It has been farmed in a traditional manner currently focused around an Aberdeen Angus beef
