Traditional farmhouse, modern cattle court and productive pasture — ready for a working livestock enterprise.
About 30.95 ha (76.48 ac) of pasture and silage ground in one block
West Blackbyre Lot 1 offers a compact, ready-to-work livestock unit in accessible East Ayrshire countryside. The sale includes a substantial traditional farmhouse with adaptable living space, a mix of modern and traditional farm buildings, and c. 30.95 ha (76.48 ac) of well-laid pasture and silage ground in one block. Strong access for modern machinery and mains tracks around the steading make daily farming straightforward.
The farmhouse combines period character with practical upgrades: an open-plan sitting room and modern kitchen with AGA, ground-floor bedroom with en suite, and additional first-floor bedrooms and a large family bathroom. The steading includes a steel-framed cattle court, hayshed, silage clamp with effluent tank, and a large redundant slurry store (Howard Harvestore) — useful capacities for a livestock business. Solar panels are installed on an adjoining outbuilding, adding an income/energy benefit.
This lot suits a working farmer or investor seeking a compact commercial unit near good road links (M77) for Glasgow commuting and agricultural supply access. The land is mostly down to grass, Grade 4/5 classified, laid out across nine field parcels with watercourse boundaries and good contours for grazing and silage.
Buyers should note material sale conditions: BPS payments for 2025 will be retained by the seller; any transfer of entitlements requires separate negotiation. Purchasers must accept ingoing valuation obligations for crops, feed, and stores. The property sits in a Less-Favoured Area; EPC rating E and council tax is described as expensive. Lot 1 will not be sold prior to Lot 2 — consider this in purchase timing and planning.
