The Barn adjoining the house is a Grade 2 Listed building dated 1694, steeped with history and period features. This stone built building has it’s own entrance from the front but can also be accessed from within the main farmhouse. A door on the first floor landing of the farmhouse also allows access to the first first floor of the barn as well as a door. The front door of the barn welcomes an entrance hallway, with stone laid floor and door off to the kitchen on the right side of the barn. The rest of the barn is only being used for storage.

The Byre sits at the front of the plot on the roadside and this incredible building is somewhat dilapidated but removal of this building would open access to the barn and offer scope for creating more beautiful front gardens or garage. The Byre sits on concrete foundations, is stone built with a timber supported and asbestos sheet roof. The current owner has removed the asbestos roof and timbers and lowered the walls for the benefit of interested parties. The stone will be left behind for the purchaser to re-build if they desire.
