The beautiful views from this property can be enjoyed from both inside and out. There’s a large area of hard standing immediately outside the property which can be used for parking, but equally could be landscaped to create outdoor seating areas to enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. There’s further scope for garden development or parking bays on the site of a former pig shed, an area that is currently laid to lawn. Further potential is offered in the outbuildings, with 2 large garages, one with a high vaulted roof, in addition to an old hay barn and cow shed.
