Muiryhill Farm is a superb country house with extensive outbuildings, planning permission for conversion of a former carriage house and former stable, land extending to 2.95 acres and stunning views.
Built of traditional construction under a slate roof, this detached property sits well back from the quiet road in established grounds and enjoys views over the rolling countryside.
The main house enjoys bright, well-proportioned rooms and flexible accommodation, and has been sensitively upgraded by the present owners over recent years. The property has been run as a successful Bed & Breakfast and the accommodation could be easily sub-divided to create separate living, kitchen and bedroom wings.

The accommodation comprises of 3 reception rooms, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, two kitchens, utility/shower room and a boiler/plant room. Externally there are a range of outbuildings, a large garden and two paddocks, with the grounds extending to 2.95 acres in total. Within the paddocks there are presently two shepherd’s huts which are let out to holidaymakers, and which may be available by separate negotiation, as well as a large hay barn/horse shelter.  In addition there are six indoor stables with covered walkway and wash down. 

There is a former carriage house and stable block that have full planning permission for change of use to residential dwellings; a two bed property and a three bed property (planning reference 20/1862/FUL). In addition, outline planning permission is being sought for a substantial 4 bedroom barn conversion to form the lower half of the steading (planning reference 22/1188/FUL (A))
Overall, this offers an excellent business/lifestyle/development opportunity and must be viewed to be appreciated.
