The generously proportioned family accommodation offers a wonderful living space and is split over two levels. A grand spiral staircase is positioned to the front of the property, a prominent architectural feature which defines the front elevation of the house.

The ground floor layout includes a sizable family kitchen featuring a Rayburn stove set into a stone surround. The space allows for a six-seater dining table, with the kitchen design encompassing a range of integrated appliances and a freestanding Rangemaster stove.

A central hallway gives access to the sitting room which is located to the front of the property. The fireplace features a cast fire surround, set within a wooden mantle. A family bathroom and ground floor bedroom are also accessed from the central hallway.

To the rear of the property, the kitchen extends through to a large utility room, and further to a storeroom which is located at the back of the property. A second bathroom is also located adjacent to the utility room, with an additional storeroom giving access to the central heating boiler.

A stone cottage sits to the front of the farmhouse, offering potential for conversion to a holiday let or home office, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Land

The property is approached by a sweeping concrete driveway, leading from a gated entrance at the junction with the main island road. The driveway leads up to the farmhouse where parking is available for several vehicles.

The land area extends to approximately 60.94 Acres (24.66 Hectares), and can be defined by four identifiable areas, namely, three fields and the working farmyard with agricultural buildings. The three fields are currently down to grass.

The farm currently leases additional land to supplement grazing areas, however it is assumed that this agreement will terminate upon sale of the farm. Prospective owners would be encouraged to make their own enquiries as to the option of leasing additional land. Gartmain Farm is also offered with full shooting rights.
