THE LAND
Lot 1
Lot 1 is split between two fields and comprises approximately 10.40 acres (4.21 ha) silage land and 1.65 acres (0.67 hectares) of grazing land. The land is in good heart and is highly productive having recently been both artificially and organically fertilised. The land is principally classified as Grade 4 (1) by the James Hutton Institute. The land rises from approximately 140m to 155m above sea level at its highest point. Lot 1 benefits from an area of hardstanding which can be utilised for storage.

Lot 2
The woodland at Greenhead extends to 10.30 acres (4.17 ha) and comprises a mix of mature coniferous species with silver birch and other broadleaves present. This block of forestry is well established and provides an attractive amenity opportunity.

Lot 3
Lot 3 comprises 17.15 acres (6.94 hectares) grazing land which has recently been fertilised. The land lies between 140 and 185m above sea level and provides useful grazing for ponies, sheep or cattle.

The fields are bound by dry stone dykes and post and rylock fencing - many of which have been recently renewed.

The seller feels the land at Greenhead Farm may be suitable for the erection of a semi-permanent structure for off grid living or similar, subject to the necessary consents. No conversations have been held with the local planning department in this regard.

Access to the land is via an independent road south east of the entrance to Greenhead Farm. The land owner has a heritable and irredeemable non-exclusive servitude right of general access and egress over this access road. The purchaser of Lot 1 will own the access beyond this point, with a right of access being granted to Lot 2 and 3.
