Set against a backdrop of stunning countryside, this unique estate offers an array of opportunities for both personal enjoyment and entrepreneurial ventures.

**Property Overview:**

Shawgate Farm includes a delightful farm cottage and a spacious barn converted into a fully functioning bed and breakfast. Spanning five acres of picturesque land, the property also features a substantial outbuilding.
