Borgue House is a substantial stock‑rearing and feeding farm extending to about 537.64 acres on the edge of the coastal village of Borgue. The holding combines a large, well‑presented Victorian farmhouse, two detached cottages, mainly modern farm buildings and amenity woodland, all presented as a single freehold lot. The land is predominantly permanent grass for grazing and conservation but is capable of growing a range of cereal and forage crops, making it versatile for livestock or mixed arable use.
The farmhouse offers spacious, characterful accommodation over two floors with high ceilings and large rooms, set back from the working farm in extensive mature garden grounds. There is one main bathroom recorded, and two additional cottages within the steading which provide immediate on‑farm accommodation or income potential. The original 17th‑century Borgue House ruin sits within the grounds and adds historic interest to the estate.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is sold freehold with substantial Basic Payment Entitlements (Region 1 and some Region 2) which the sellers will endeavour to transfer; 2023 payments already applied for will be retained by the sellers. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — typical of this ageing rural area — and the wider locality shows high deprivation indices. There is no recorded flooding risk.
This lot will suit an agricultural purchaser, established stock farmer or an investor seeking a large, productive farm with immediate grazing capacity and potential for diversification. The holding has been in the same family since 1946 and presents long‑term continuity and scale; however, buyers should allow for rural service limitations and the practical management obligations tied to subsidy transfers and cross‑compliance.
