Lot 2 at Burnhouse Farm offers a substantial block of productive arable and grassland extending to approximately 28.51 ha (70.45 acres) alongside a traditional stone farmhouse and a small range of agricultural buildings. The land is mainly permanent grassland with one field in spring barley and is classed predominantly as Grade 3 (with a small area of Grade 4). Fields are well fenced with water supplies and internal access tracks; soils are described as deep brown earthy soils suitable for grazing and arable rotations.
The farmhouse is of traditional stone construction beneath a pitched slate roof with uPVC double glazing, arranged over one and a half storeys (ground floor: kitchen, utility, two bedrooms, living room and bathroom; first floor: two double bedrooms). The house requires internal modernisation. The farm buildings include a large byre/former dairy, stone outbuilding and bull box, all with concrete floors — useful for storage or livestock but offered without guarantees of repair.
Practical selling points include registration for IACS, available BPS entitlements for transfer, access to local agricultural services in nearby Lanark, and excellent road links via the M74. The land lies outside NVZ status but is within a Less Favoured Area. Mineral rights are specifically excluded from the sale; standing and fallen timber owned by the seller are included. The lot is offered for sale by auction with a closing date of 04 June 2025 at 12 noon and may be purchased as part of the whole estate or in separate lots.
Important considerations: the farmhouse needs renovation and modernisation, the sale excludes mineral rights, there is a historic sporting lease and riverbank fishing arrangement, and any 2024 BPS payments will be retained by the seller. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on tenure, council tax status, and carry out surveys and checks on building condition, services and access prior to bidding.
