DESCRIPTIONKnowes Farmhouse is a traditional former stone built farmhouse lying under a slated roof with an attractive southerly aspect. Lying immediately to the north of the house is a range of traditional stone outbuildings with two further timber buildings to the east creating a sheltered courtyard to the rear of the house.

The farmhouse was last occupied over 20 years ago and therefore will require a significant programme of renovation. The house has not inspected internally for the preparation of these sales particulars but we understand the accommodation lies over two floors and comprises:

Ground FloorHall, kitchen, larder, dining room, study, porch, sitting room, store room.

First Floor3 bedrooms, box room, bathroom.

Lying immediately to the south of the farmhouse is an area of garden ground edged by a stone wall.

OutbuildingsKnowes Farmhouse benefits from a range of outbuildings lying to the north and east. Immediately to the rear and forming a “U” shape range of buildings, are the traditional outbuilding of stone construction under principally slated roofs providing byres, former cart shed, stables, stores and former grain dryer building. The range of outbuildings include part timber buildings to the east under corrugated roofs. A detached hay store lies to the north-west of the farmhouse with open sides.

The LandKnowes Farmhouse benefits from amenity land. The subjects extend to a total of some 13.95 acres (5.64 ha) with the land principally to the east, south and west of the house. It is

down to grass and part of the boundaries are unfenced. The land offers excellent potential for the grazing of livestock, horses or for the creation of landscaped policies for the house itself.

The land is classified as Grade 4:1 by the James Hutton Institute and rises from approximately 241m to 269m above sea level. The area has an average annual rainfall of about 1,000 mm to 1,250mm per annum.
