The site previously comprised a working farmer's cottage with extensive garden ground. The cottage is now demolished and the site cleared. The land is regular in shape with a slight slope from east to west overlaid in the main by grass. Vehicle access will be taken from Lang Loan (see aerial). We understand all necessary rights of access are in place to construct a new access road. Pedestrian access can also be taken from the neighbouring residential development footpaths.
