Church View Cottage.
This is a stone built single storey farm building converted into a separate cottage, with a large sitting/dining room, fully fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. Outside it has a small secure enclosed garden with a paved area and lawn, with the same stunning views as The Byre House.

Over recent years it has been successfully let out as a furnished holiday let but could equally serve as a granny annexe.
