Den fine og frittliggende gården var også et kirkested.
Jeg får bare opp "detached" i ordbøkene. Har noen et forslag til hvilket engelsk ord jeg kan bruke her?
Det handler om en beskrivelse av et sted i Hardanger.

Sorry the last part of my explanation was wrong. The Kunnskapsforlaget engelsk blå ordbok gives isolated, detached or free-standing as the translation of frittstående. My Kunnskapsforlaget dictionary didn't have the word frittliggende, but I imagine they're interchangeable.
