Barn Conversion (17.07m x 5.02m or 56' 0' x 16' 6')
Full planning permission has been granted (19/1819/FUL) to convert the stone barn and store into a 2 bedroomed dwelling with a slate roof and accommodation consisting of an open plan lounge and diner, kitchen, bathroom and utility room. Part of the roof has been re-slated but otherwise no work has begun on the conversion.

Storage Shed (14.07m x 8.05m or 46' 2' x 26' 5')
Opposite the barn is a renovated outbuilding with whitewashed stone walls to the rear and gables with a timber clad frontage and corrugated sheet roofing. There is a concrete floor, a wood burning stove and electricity. There are double doors measuring 3.5m wide and 2.7m high with a pedestrian door set within. Currently this shed is used for storing vehicles with ample room inside.
