“The surrounding area is the most sparsely populated corner of Europe, and the geology is amongst some of the oldest in Britain.

“The stone-built properties on the estate are positioned at the eastern end of the estate with far-reaching views south and west over the Ledmore River towards the mountain peaks in the distance.

“The former lodge and nearby shepherd’s cottage are surrounded by areas of garden ground, partly enclosed by old stone walls and fences and screened from the main road to the north and east by an established shelter belt of Scots pine and mixed broadleaves, creating privacy.”
