A rare chance to acquire Appiehouse, a much sought after 70 acre farm in the Parish of Harray, where properties of this type seldom come to market. The holding includes a beautifully refurbished three bedroom home and an extensive range of agricultural buildings, offering exceptional flexibility for farming, storage, or future development.

The dwelling house has been refurbished to a high standard, and combines modern comfort with rural charm.
•Dual aspect living room with wood burning stove
•Modern kitchen with boiling water tap and breakfast bar
•Contemporary shower room
•Dual aspect double bedroom
•En suite double bedroom
•Single bedroom / office
•Large utility room

Some internal flooring is still to be fitted, and the owner will complete this work prior to sale. The property also benefits from eight 440W solar panels with a battery-storage system, all covered by a 25-year warranty, offering long-term energy efficiency and reduced running costs.

Alongside Appierhouse Farmhouse, there is a building which may present an opportunity for an additional dwelling to be created. This would be subject to OIC planning approval and all enquiries on this matter should be presented to them.

Land entitlement payments are included in the sale of Appiehouse.
