There is also a substantial stone outbuilding fronting onto the roadside, which again offers great potential (subject to any planning/building regulation approval). The 6.92 acres of land is undulating upland pasture and is suitable for horses and grazing. A stream provides a good natural water supply to the land. A driveway leads down to the farmhouse from the roadside and there are areas for off road parking. Our clients have informed us that the solar panels were installed circa 2010 and have an original Feed-In Tariff (to be verified by solicitors).
