This detached large 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. 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 there are local builders that do this type of restoration work regularly and to a modern standard.

Electricity to the property has been disconnected and needs complete rewiring. There is water to the property.

The property is L shaped with 4 rooms in a side street and 2 on the wider village road. Some of the rooms are 2 story but the wooden staircase has disintegrated. There may be some rooms below the property and there is an area for a courtyard behind. From the upper level there are uninterrupted sea and mountain views.
