AN ACCESSIBLE MIXED ARABLE & LIVESTOCK FARM ON THE ANGUS / ABERDEENSHIRE BORDER

Description

Craig of Garvock is a productive and accessible mixed arable and livestock farm situated in an attractive position on the southern fringe of the Hill of Garvock.

Lot 1 - Craig of Garvock Farm

In total, the land extends to 318.71 acres (128.98 hectares) of which 114.78 acres (46.45 ha) is arable land and 181.54 acres (73.47 hectares) is hill grazing land, with the remainder consisting of internal farm tracks, verges and ditches. The arable fields are all of a suitable size for the efficient operation of modern machinery and benefit from an internal farm track allowing for ease of access to all fields. The hill provides grazing for livestock.

The land ranges from 130m to 260m above sea level. According to the James Hutton Institute for Soil Research, the arable land is classified as Class 3(2), with the hill ground being Class 5(1).The soils are of the Stonehaven series, derived from old red sandstone with component soil types being brown earth with humus-iron podzols.

A farm steading has been created on a site approximately 300metres to the west of the farmhouse, which currently provides a cattle shed and hard standing with concrete walls useful for storage which were erected by the outgoing agricultural tenant. The cattle shed extends to approximately 20m x 30m and is of steel portal frame construction with 2m block walls and vented corrugated sheeting west side and concrete panels on the east side.

Lot 2 - Craig of Garvock Farmhouse, traditional steading & paddock.

The farmhouse is situated in an elevated and private position, overlooking the arable fields to its immediate front with spectacular southerly views towards the Montrose Basin in the distance. Arranged over two floors, the farmhouse is of traditional stone and slate construction and offers great potential to create an attractive family home in a spectacular rural setting.

The ground floor accommodation currently includes a front entrance porch, two front reception rooms, one currently being used as a bedroom, an office, kitchen and WC. Upstairs there are three good sized bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and a family bathroom. The property has been let to a commercial tenant for a number of years but is currently vacant and would benefit from light renovations.

Adjacent to the farmhouse is a derelict U shaped traditional steading of stone and slate construction benefitting from the same wonderful views as the farmhouse. This offers an exciting development opportunity, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The farmhouse and traditional steading are surrounded by 7.33 acres (2.97 hectares) of land comprising a grass paddock and woodland parcel providing shelter, amenity and privacy.
