Farmhouse
The farmhouse is situated towards the north of the holding and offers comfortable family accommodation across two floors.

From the north, take the A595 heading south. Continue along the A595 until Silecroft is reached on the right. Continue past Silecroft for about half a mile where the entrance to Baldmire Farm will be on the right.
