The land extends to approximately 21.41 acres and lies immediately adjoining the property, providing a valuable combination of agricultural, amenity and lifestyle appeal.

The elevated setting is a particular feature, with impressive open views extending across the Solway Plain and providing a wonderful sense of space and rural seclusion.
