The attached stone building offers scope to be incorporated into the main house to allow for further accommodation. There is also considerable potential for extension to the rear (subject to obtaining planning consent). Externally the property is complemented by generous gardens with fantastic views and a detached garage. There is also a useful garth totalling 0.144 acres with two buildings comprising a stone barn and a dutch barn. This would be ideal for a pony or grazing sheep.
