Bursting with character and for sale in beautiful condition throughout, Ullgill Farm is a large property that is perfect for a family but also offers the opportunity to run a home-based business.

It is set on a large plot with an impressive range of outbuildings in the popular hamlet of Howgate. It has the potential for adding value by way of a large traditional outbuilding which provides excellent scope for conversion to a holiday cottage or annex for a dependent relative.

The accommodation briefly comprises entrance porch with original floor tiles, hallway, lounge, formal dining room, snug with attractive inglenook fireplace, breakfast room opening into a high-specification kitchen with a Rayburn and a large utility room with separate toilet to the ground floor.

There are five well-appointed bedrooms on the first floor, together with the modern family bathroom and the additional option of adding a further bathroom in a large storage room on this level - where services are already installed - and converting the loft space for extra accommodation.
