Summary - TOWNFOOT COTTAGE, LANARK, SANDILANDS ML11 9UA
Approx. 90.11 ha (222.65 acres) of mixed arable and grassland
Lot 1 at Sandilands is a substantial working farm extending to approximately 90.11 ha (222.65 acres) around a traditional stone farmhouse with a separate three‑bed cottage, extensive mixed farm buildings and modern slurry storage. The farmhouse has been partially modernised, benefits from a biomass boiler and solar panels, and sits with a landscaped garden and good internal access tracks — a ready base for beef, sheep or arable operations.
The building complex includes both traditional stone ranges and modern steel portal-framed sheds, a 2018 concrete slurry store (1,005 m3), a 150‑ton grain tower and substantial cattle housing and handling facilities. The land is mainly Grade 3.2 with some Grade 4.2, well fenced and water‑supplied to fields; some blocks are in grassland rotation while parts are currently used for seed potatoes and spring barley. BPS entitlements are available to purchase; the holding is outside NVZ but within a Less Favoured Area.
Important practical points: mineral rights are excluded from the sale, there is a historic sporting lease and a small riverbank fishing tenancy. The cottage requires modernisation though appears wind and watertight. The seller will retain any 2024 scheme payments; purchasers must comply with scheme-year cross compliance on occupation. The property is offered for sale as a whole or in three lots and will be sold at auction (closing date 4 June 2025 at 12 noon).
This lot will suit an active farmer, a buyer seeking an operational mixed farm with immediate infrastructure, or an investor looking for agricultural income and land asset exposure close to Lanark and the M74 transport corridor. Note the land’s rolling nature with some steep bankings and the Less Favoured Area designation when assessing stocking or cropping plans.
