Building No.3
Three bay, steel portal framed building under double-pitched, fibrous cement sheet roof. Two bays benefit from double-doors/ metal gates along its southerly elevation with the third accessed through a stable door. There is an additional one bay lean-to off the building’s westernmost wall which sits under a mono-pitch roof. Historically the building has been used as sheep housing
Building No.4
Four bay, steel framed building under mono pitch roof, clad with Yorkshire Boarding and sitting over a hardcore floor with concrete apron surround. In recent years this building has been used as a lambing shed and is split internally into four individual pens, the westernmost elevation is open and provides a feed area/ passage.
The farm buildings benefit from a W/C located to the north of Building 2. Adjacent to the yard area and within field numbered 1 lies some useful sheep handling pens, sitting on a concrete base.
The steading and buildings offer a useful range of modern buildings which could be used for agricultural, equestrian or other uses subject to receiving relevant planning approval
