Lot 2 consists of good quality grazing and permanent pasture at about 28.32 ha (70 acres). Meanwhile Lot 3 comprises grazing and hill land at about 89.8 ha (221.8 acres).

South Bank is a most attractive farm with a stone-built farmhouse, well maintained gardens, a traditional courtyard steading and a mixture of good quality grazing land and hill ground.
