Ideal as a private residence, luxury B&B, event venue, or corporate retreat, Annfield Manor offers incredible income potential. Currently operating as a very successful B&B, it has previously also served as a wedding venue, photography set, and restaurant. With its rich history, premium features, and breathtaking location, this property is only limited by your imagination.
