This could be for multi-generational living, a private retreat or a commercial venture such as holiday lets. The Old Granary home showcases a rich palette of natural materials and heritage features including extensive use of Caithness slate flooring, solid oak flooring, traditional wood panelling and stud doors.

On the southwest elevation a private driveway area provides a pleasant outlook over the former central courtyard. The grounds surrounding The Old Granary extend to about 2.4 acres, offering ample space for outdoor living, gardening and relaxation. The wider Home Farm grounds extend to about a further 6.5 acres. Thoughtfully landscaped, the grounds include a well maintained garden, a delightful amenity woodland and a 2 acre paddock, ideal for grazing or equestrian use. The gardens have been lovingly designed to showcase seasonal colour, with springtime bringing a vibrant carpet of bluebells and daffodils, creating a truly enchanting setting. Eight unconverted small bothies now serve as sheltered structures for established rambling roses, adding character and charm to the garden landscape. The grazing paddock, bordered by extensive hawthorn hedging, enjoys elevated sea views, making it a standout feature for those seeking a rural lifestyle with coastal beauty. As part of the Home Farm offering, the adjacent former stables are well maintained and include four loose box stalls, complete with power, lighting and a double glazed window, providing excellent facilities for equestrian or hobby use.
Garage: Home Farm provides a garage adjacent to the stables. There are recently replaced rafters, power, light and concrete floor. Along with the vehicular door is a personnel door into the stables.
