The principal residence is a traditional two-storey farmhouse extending to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The accommodation is generous in scale, including multiple reception rooms, a large kitchen/dining area, utility space and a bright sunroom/entrance porch. Many of the rooms benefit from open rural and coastal outlooks.

Internally, the property requires modernisation throughout but offers enormous potential to be transformed into a superb family home or high-end coastal residence. The overall layout and room proportions provide an ideal foundation for renovation or reconfiguration to suit modern living.

Externally, the holding is particularly impressive. The lands extend to approximately 13–14 acres, laid out in well-defined fields suitable for grazing, equestrian use or general agricultural purposes. The elevated setting ensures spectacular sea views from both the house and land, creating a unique lifestyle opportunity.

A key feature of the property is the extensive range of traditional outbuildings, including stone barns, stores and yard areas. While some are in need of repair, they offer excellent potential for redevelopment or conversion (subject to the necessary consents), making the property particularly appealing to those seeking a smallholding, business opportunity or multi-use rural site.

The overall setting combines rural tranquillity with close proximity to the coast, offering a truly special opportunity in a highly sought-after location.
