Single garage
The single garage lies to the south east of the house. It has a concrete floor and measures 5.7 x 4.0m

The house has a dog-proof garden with a lawn to the south and north. It has a real feeling of seclusion and is surrounded by its own farmland. The gorse-covered escarpment to the south and west of field 4 is very steep and impenetrable. There is a drop of about 36 metres (120 feet) down to Auchterderran village to the south and Woodend village to the west so no one can access the farmland. The B921 Woodend-Kinglassie road lies 245 metres to the north of the house which is partly shielded by the steading.

The house has a slightly elevated location with outstanding view to the west over to Pitcairn Farm forestry and northwards over fields to Bishop Hill and the Lomond Hills.

The house has a Section 75 agricultural restriction but the selling agents have applied to have this removed. (This should be a formality). The house is on mains electric and mains water. It has a private sewage septic tank which lies to the north west of the house in field 4. A SEPA licence has been applied for it.

The outbuildings

A. The workshop was built around 20 years ago. It is a portal framed shed 13 x 9.1 x 5m to eaves. It has two electric roller doors 4.5 x 4.0m, 4.0 x 3.5m, 3 phase electricity, a concrete floor and two workbenches. The third workbench is excluded from the sale.

The Fields

The farmlands are well served with mains water troughs and have excellent fences. They are classified as being 3.2 by the Macaulay land system and slope gently from 96 metres (315 ft) to 117 metres (383 ft) above sea level.

Field 3: To the east of the house is a 0.44 acre grass paddock with three chicken sheds. There are nine chickens and nine geese all included in the sale.

Field 4: This extends to the west and south of the house. It’s ideal for horses.

Fields 8, 10 & 11 are good grazing fields which are down to grass. Field 9 is a silage field. Plots 5 & 12 are steep escarpment.

Possible Section 75 equestrian occupancy house

If 18.87 acres (eg fields 8, 9, 10 & 11) are put in the purchasers relatives’ name, this purchaser could apply for planning consent for a mobile home, say, to the north west of the biggest portal framed shed (D, see page 6) eg in the south west corner of field 9. If they built 20 stables in the existing portal framed shed D and ran a livery yard over the lands for two years, then they could get planning permission for a house to replace the mobile home.

Existing access and proposed new access road

The existing access road H –I –A is shared with the cement making plant. Maintenance is shared, as per usage. It is suggested that a new access could be installed by K –J on the plan, especially if a second house secures consent. There is a dropped kerb at the public road.

Services

Scottish Power have a wayleave for a pole line over Craigs Farm. This has been capitalised. There is also a mains water pipeline serving the farmhouse, sheds and troughs.
