The main house, ‘L’ shaped steading and grounds have undergone extensive refurbishment and upgrading by the present owners in recent years. The main house offers exquisite accommodation spanning over two levels with a superb sun terrace to maximise the panoramic views. The detached steading offers self-contained converted studio style accommodation with a well presented one bedroom with en-suite room and a large open plan sitting/ dining and kitchen room. The rest of the steading hosts an extensive workshop, storage areas and internal kennelling. The main house has been purposely extended in 2018, providing a self-contained one bedroom annex allowing the property to accommodate two families. The current configuration allows for the self-contained annex to operate simultaneously but separately with privacy from the main accommodation, however the versatility and clever design of the extension allow any new purchaser to continue with the current arrangement or allow the accommodation to flow and become one larger home. Throughout the property the main aspect of the interior has been presented as such to maximise the light and views from all angles, most front facing windows have a superior panoramic views with the every changing landscaped to be readily accessible at every opportunity.

New carpeting has been laid on the staircase along with most of the rooms this combines well with the recent laying of tasteful hard wood flooring on the ground floor. It is worthy of note that the main house is serviced by its own septic tank, a new water pipe was installed from the pump house to also service the main house and a new 1300 litre oil tank was installed in September 2021.
