The Farmhouse has already incorporated former outbuildings, with the conversion of the former byre to create an impressive garden room with traditional arch byre windows and doors, with generous first floor accommodation above - this could work well as a self contained separate wing/annexe to the main house for those looking for multi-generational living.

Externally, there is a large attached double height barn currently used for agricultural/garden machinery and as a large workshop and original Gin Gan, which offers development potential as additional residential accommodation.
