Summary - WEST BLACKBYRES FARM, MAIN ROAD KA3 6JH
4 bed 3 bath Land
Productive livestock unit with farmhouse, extensive buildings and two-lot sale option.
Farmhouse with character and open-plan kitchen plus AGA
West Blackbyre is a compact, well laid-out livestock unit in an accessible East Ayrshire location, offered either as a whole or in two lots. Lot 1 includes the substantial stone farmhouse, modern and traditional farm buildings and approximately 80.49 acres; Lot 2 comprises about 88.09 acres in a neighbouring block. The holding is currently down to grass and is used for sheep grazing and fodder production, with fields graded mainly Grade 4 and areas of Grade 5—suitable for dairy, beef or mixed enterprises.
The farmhouse combines traditional character and comfortable living: spacious reception rooms with wood-burning stoves, a modern-style kitchen with AGA and central island, ground-floor bedroom with ensuite, and additional upstairs accommodation. The steading offers a useful mix of buildings—a four-bay cattle court, hay shed, silage clamp with a 5,000-gallon effluent tank and a large three-ring Howard Harvestore slurry store—supporting continued livestock operations or conversion to alternative uses with planning.
Practical considerations are straightforward and must be factored into purchase costs. Any 2025 BPS payments will be retained by the seller; IACS registration is in place and the farm sits within the Less-Favoured Area Support Scheme. The purchaser will be obliged to take in-going valuations for crops, feed and store items and a 10% deposit will be required on conclusion of missives. Solar panels are fitted to an outbuilding roof, and mobile signal and broadband are strong—useful for management or home working.
This is a genuine opportunity for an owner-operator seeking a compact, workable Ayrshire unit with immediate infrastructure, or for an investor looking to secure productive grassland with scope to modernise buildings or diversify. Be aware of costs associated with ingoing valuing, potential remedial works to redundant slurry infrastructure, and ongoing council tax and running costs for a large rural property.
