Set in an elevated position within the Ochil Hills, Glensherup Farm offers a rare combination of substantial land and period character. The 81.53-acre holding is predominantly permanent pasture and rough grazing, with a farmhouse, courtyard of traditional outbuildings and a range of agricultural buildings suited to livestock or diversification projects. The site enjoys wide, uninterrupted countryside views and easy road access to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Central Belt.
The farmhouse is historic and listed, built in stages from 1693 through the 1930s, and requires comprehensive modernisation. Internally there are two reception rooms, a kitchen/scullery, four bedrooms including a principal with ensuite, and oil-fired central heating. The property benefits from double glazing, a solar PV and battery system (installed 2012) with an active Feed-in Tariff and around 13 years remaining, providing a steady income stream while improvements are planned.
This is a practical working farm with outbuildings, a pole barn, sheep fank and stock-proof fields; the land is free draining and in good heart. The septic tank requires the buyer to ensure compliance, broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average—important operational considerations for modern farm businesses or remote working. The listed status brings historic appeal but will cause consent and renovation constraints.
For a buyer seeking an agricultural investment, equestrian base or rural development opportunity (subject to consents), Glensherup presents significant potential. The holding’s size, location and income-producing solar asset make it attractive, but expect a substantial programme of repair, listed-building approvals and infrastructure upgrades before the farmhouse reaches contemporary standards.
