POLICY GROUNDS
In total, the grounds at Backharn extend to about 87.1 acres and are divided between two separate parcels. The largest of these parcels is about 65.1 acres (26.38 ha) and sitting within this is the house and garden ground. The garden, which is essentially laid to lawn along with a superb sheltered stone slabbed seating area is laid out for ease of maintenance. Sitting adjacent to the house is the original mill built from stone under a tin roof. The mill has a power supply and offers great scope for development into an annexe or additional accommodation (subject to planning). In addition, there is a very useful timber built store / workshop (about 11m x 6m). Surrounding the house is an area of delightful heathland interspersed with naturally generating Scots Pine and other native tree species with a productive duck flighting pond whilst this larger parcel of ground also includes grazing land extending to about 23.1 acres (9.35 ha) which is suitable for horses or other livestock and parcels of mature coniferous woodland extending to some 31.7 acres (12.83 ha). Backharn is surrounded by mature woodland, much of which is managed by the RSPB and is home to a high population of red and roe deer (which have been fed at Backharn throughout the winter), pine marten as well a great variety of native flora and fauna.
The second parcel at the entrance to the public road (B970) is the Blairdow Woodland of about 21.9 acres (8.87 ha) comprising mature Scots Pine woodland and a further delightful lochan.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
