Summary - Lot 4 Land at Black Mount, By Howgate, Midlothian, EH26 EH26 8QQ
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large accessible parcel ideal for farming, diversification or natural capital projects.
Approximately 25.58 ha (63.22 acres) mixed arable, silage and grazing land
Lot 4 at Black Mount is a substantial agricultural parcel of about 25.58 ha (63.22 acres) combining arable, silage and grazing ground across Grade 3, 4 and small areas of Grade 5 soils. The holding benefits from direct road frontage, good internal accessibility and natural water supplies to enclosures, making it immediately usable for cropping or livestock grazing.
The location offers excellent rural outlooks and practical links to Penicuik, the Edinburgh City Bypass and regional markets. There is a prior approval planning application submitted for an agricultural building (Midlothian Council Ref: 25/00461/PNAG) which could support diversification or improved farm infrastructure if granted. The land lies outside a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and is registered for IACS.
Buyers should note material constraints: the land is designated within a Less-Favoured Area and there are no Basic Payment Scheme Entitlements included. A mains water pipe crosses field 31 and historic quarry workings exist within the title area. Parts of the holding are currently subject to grazing and cropping licences which run until 31 May 2026 for specified fields and will be taken into account on completion.
This lot will suit an established farmer, an investor looking for scale and environmental opportunity, or a purchaser seeking to expand sporting or natural capital projects. Practical factors — incoming valuation obligations for crops and inputs, AML requirements and potential site investigations for past quarrying — are important to budget for prior to completion.
