Bankhead Farm is a spacious, traditional stone farmhouse with extensive productive arable and grassland extending to about 63.06 Ha (155.82 acres). The holding lies in a desirable part of West Fife with outstanding panoramic views across the Firth of Forth and easy road access to Cairneyhill and Dunfermline. The steading includes a mix of traditional and modern buildings suited to cropping, livestock or diversified farm uses.
The farmhouse provides five bedrooms and flexible accommodation (formerly occupied as two units) and sits within a large mature garden. The compact yard is served by substantial buildings including a large grain/potato store and a 30m x 20m cattle court — useful for an active mixed arable and livestock enterprise or conversion to other rural businesses.
There are clear investment and operational strengths: Grade 2 and Grade 3 soils capable of high-yield cropping, established spring barley and vegetable production, BPS-registered land (farm code 401/0019) and local support services. The holding is well placed for commuters to Dunfermline and Edinburgh while remaining a working farm with existing livestock and a winter farm shop history.
Buyers should note significant refurbishment and transactional requirements. The farmhouse, bothy and at least one building require renovation, and one structure has been condemned (do not enter). The property has an EPC rating of F and very slow broadband. Incoming purchasers will be liable for ingoing valuations for crops, stores and inputs, any retained 2025 BPS payments, and a 10% non-refundable deposit on conclusion of missives. The sale will be by auction with a fixed closing date, so interested parties should review legal pack and arrange inspections promptly.
