NOTE - The modern barn shown in the main picture, to the left, is included but is to be removed when the barns are developed but may be great storage for materials during the conversion work.

In a rural location these 3 barns, set around a wide, open traditional courtyard are full of charm and character being built mainly in stone, with some cob and modern block and under slate roofs and will make a beautiful courtyard property once completed.

Approached over a short adopted country lane, there are further modern barns to the north, which will be developed into further residential dwellings whilst a roadside barn is scheduled to be removed.

To the south there is, what was a unused farmstead, that is nearing completion of its renovation to a stunning character home.
