Yard Area
The farm buildings benefit from a large area of yard which is down to concrete and hard standing and provides additional space for fodder and machinery storage.

Former Colliery Outbuildings
Located to the south of the principal farm steading close to the southern perimeter of the subjects, there are the remains of some brick- built outbuildings, which originally formed part of the Canderrigg Colliery. The buildings are mostly intact to wall head level, with a further concrete yard area which is currently used as an area to store manure and also provide an area to feed any outwintered cattle.

Farmland in Lot 1 extending to about 48.08 Ha (118.81 Acres)
The land in Lot 1 lies within a contiguous block and extends to about 48.08 Ha (118.81 Acres) in total and surrounds the farmhouse and farm buildings. The farmland within Lot 1 is bound to the north by the A71, to the east by the B7078, and to the south by Candermill Road, providing an excellent level of direct road access to each enclosure. The land has been principally classified by the James Hutton Institute as Grade 3.2 and comprises a mix of productive arable and grazing ground, with some small areas of amenity woodland located to the north west of the farm steading and along the eastern bank of the Cander Water. The land varies in aspect rising from 115m adjacent to the Cander Water on the south western boundary to 174m above sea level at its highest point adjacent to the B7078 public road on the south eastern boundary. The fields have benefited from a healthy application of farmyard manure over the years due to their proximity to the farm steading with the majority of the enclosures being accessed directly from the farm steading or via field gates which lead directly off the various public roads.

CLAWBACK
The missives of sale of Lots 1 -4 will be subject to the Purchaser(s) granting a standard security in favour of the Sellers to clawback 30% of the uplift in value, in the event of planning permission being granted for development for any purpose other than agricultural, over any part of the holding being obtained subsequent from the date of entry for a period of 30 years.
