The Property
This detached large and solid property is reputed to be over 200 years old is in a very dilapidated state but would make a wonderful residence once restored.

Built of stone with walls over half a yard thick the house has all the traditional features waiting to be restored to their former glory. Many of the original ceiling beams (complete tree trunks) remain and are solid. The main walls are sound and without any sign of movement over the centuries. For the past 60 years the property has been used as store rooms by the village elders and parts of the building have disintegrated due to lack of maintained. Most of the original stick and clay roof has gone and that which remains was at some time in the past given a thin coat of cement and needs to be replaced. There is a local building yard and builders that do this type of restoration work to a modern standard.
