Background
We understand that the barn was converted in the late 1990’s and the current vendor’s have owned the property since the early 2000’s. The stone outbuilding has now also been converted into an annex, providing further accommodation. Therefore the property has not been on the market in its current form for a long time and viewing is recommended.
