Summary - NETHERTOWN FARM, NEW ABBEY ROAD DG2 8ER
4 bed 1 bath Farm Land
Large arable and grassland holding with steading and river frontage, sold whole or in two lots.
About 204.59 acres (82.80 ha) ring-fenced holding
Nethertown Farm is a substantial, ring-fenced agricultural holding extending to about 204.59 acres (82.80 ha), offered either as a whole or in two lots. The principal traditional two-storey farmhouse sits within a steading of mixed traditional and modern buildings, together with large steel and concrete sheds and yard areas suitable for storage, livestock or machinery. Productive arable and grassland have supported cereals, potatoes and forage crops; land capability is predominantly Macaulay 3² and region 1 compliant, indicating good cropping potential. The site includes river frontage and open views across estuarine/floodplain landscape, adding amenity and ecological interest.
The farmhouse requires modernization and updating but benefits from a recently renewed slated roof and generous family accommodation over three floors, with attractive sandstone façade and long-range views to Criffel on clear days. The steading still contains former dairy infrastructure (unused parlour and bulk tank) and a mix of building types that support continuing agricultural use or offer scope for diversification or conversion subject to planning consent. Lot 1 includes the farmhouse and about 146.92 acres; Lot 2 is about 59.67 acres (Cargenholm).
Practical matters to note: the holding is split only by the A710, is accessed from New Abbey Road, and sits in an ageing rural neighbourhood with very deprived area statistics locally. Tenure details are not provided and the farmhouse is listed as needing renovation—buyers should confirm legal access, any tenancy or grazing obligations, services, drainage, and planning constraints before purchase. Offers are sought in excess of £1,600,000 for the whole, with Lot 1 and Lot 2 guide figures shown separately.
For an agricultural buyer, this is a productive and consolidated farm with scale, soil quality and building stock to continue arable and stock enterprises. For an investor or developer it offers scope for diversification, environmental enhancement around riparian areas, or redevelopment subject to consents; for a family seeking a rural home it offers space and views but requires significant refurbishment and due diligence on services and tenure.
