Knockbain Mains
Knockbain Mains Farmhouse lies on the southern boundary of the site. Formerly a one-and-a-half storey cottage, the property, which has been in the same family for three generations, has an extension to the rear, complementing the original dwelling and creating generous and well laid out accommodation. This includes the delightful, triple aspect sitting room with french doors to the garden, while the versatile layout has rooms which currently provide office and storage space for the management of the holiday business but could be incorporated into the living space.
The owners have maintained the house well and recent improvements include the installation of a new kitchen, bathroom and shower room.
