Modern-Agricultural Buildings

The useful range of farm buildings are neatly located to the west of the farmhouse and in a sheltered position, with alternative vehicular access provided directly off Haverflatts Lane. The yard comprises four useful modern buildings as follows:

Building No.1

Four bay modern agricultural building of steel portal construction under double pitched corrugated sheet roof. The building is clad with Yorkshire Boarding and sits above a hardcore floor. In recent years it has been primarily used as a lambing shed.

Building No.2

Three bay block-built building under slate roof, clad partially in traditional stone. The building sits above a concrete floor. Two bays are currently used for storage purposes, with the third laid out as a workshop with in-built vehicle inspection pit.

Building No.3

Three bay, steel portal framed building under double-pitched, fibrous cement sheet roof. Two bays benefit from double-doors/ metal gates along its southerly elevation with the third accessed through a stable door. There is an additional one bay lean-to off the building’s westernmost wall which sits under a mono-pitch roof. Historically the building has been used as sheep housing

Building No.4

Four bay, steel framed building under mono pitch roof, clad with Yorkshire Boarding and sitting over a hardcore floor with concrete apron surround. In recent years this building has been used as a lambing shed and is split internally into four individual pens, the westernmost elevation is open and provides a feed area/ passage. The farm buildings benefit from a W/C located to the north of Building 2. Adjacent to the yard area and within field numbered 1 lies some useful sheep handling pens, sitting on a concrete base. The steading and buildings offer a useful range of modern buildings which could be used for agricultural, equestrian or other uses subject to receiving relevant planning approval
