The farm steading includes a detached property with a range of buildings and land comprising nearly three and three-quarter acres that could be used for a variety of purposes. Planning prevents the property from being used as a residence.

The buildings are two detached single-storey buildings, wich could be utilised for storage or as workshops, and two larger agricultural buildings suitable for lifestock or commercial units.
