Description: This huge stone family house is an exciting find; it dates back to approximately 1850 and retains much of its original character although some of this is begging to be rediscovered following some dubious additions in the 60’s! The structure seems sound, has oak timbers throughout and the stone in the walls is beautiful. There are many possibilities; it would split into 2 dwellings and would make a fabulous B&B or indeed an impressive holiday home.
