With no known planning history, this sale offers a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a range of dilapidated stone buildings and about 30 acres of upland grassland with good access along stone tracks and natural water supply. Two of the buildings are mostly intact, and there are remains of at least two more. Viewing of the buildings is strongly recommended. The boundaries are mostly drystone walls, many of which are stock proof or fenced. This sale provides an ideal opportunity for neighbouring property owners and local farmers to increase their holding size and will also appeal to those looking to purchase a separate area of good sound land in the locality.

The Vendors have claimed the BPS for 2023, and as the scheme is now de-linked, there are no entitlements available. The purchaser must comply with Cross Compliance for the remainder of the calendar year. We are not aware of any Stewardship Schemes or similar.

There are no mains services connected to the property. A natural water supply should be sufficient for livestock.

Greenbooth Farmhouse has the benefit of a right of way for all purposes at any time through the property, as shown brown on the sale plan. Greenbooth Farmhouse has a right to take water from the property. A public footpath runs through the property.

The property is sold freehold and with vacant possession on completion.

The land and buildings can be viewed at any time, however, those planning to view MUST give the agents at least 48 hours. Viewings must be on foot and NO DOGS are allowed due to sheep with lambs being present. If you find a gate closed, please close it behind you.
