West Blackbyre Lot 1 offers a compact, well-served livestock unit with farmhouse, useful modern and traditional buildings, and about 30.95 hectares (76.48 acres) of contiguous grazing and silage ground. The substantial stone farmhouse provides adaptable family accommodation with a modern kitchen, multiple reception rooms, and a mix of ground- and first-floor bedrooms. Practical features include an AGA, wood-burning stoves and a large bathroom with claw-foot bath. Solar panels are fitted to an adjoining outbuilding, supporting running-cost savings.
The steading includes a four-bay cattle court, hayshed, lean-to, silage clamp with a 5,000-gallon effluent tank and a large three-ring slurry store (Howard Harvestore) — assets that suit dairy, beef or mixed enterprises. Fields are well laid out in nine parcels, mostly Grade 4 with areas of Grade 5, easily worked by modern machinery and with good internal access. The holding is outside NVZ designation and registered for IACS; it lies within a Less-Favoured Area, reflecting subsidy eligibility and agricultural character.
Buyers should note a number of commercial sale conditions: Lot 1 is offered as part of a two-lot sale (Lot 1 will not be sold prior to Lot 2), ingoing agricultural stock, crops and consumables must be purchased at valuation, and a 10% non-refundable deposit will be required on conclusion of missives. EPC rating E, council tax described as expensive and the wider area records higher levels of deprivation — factors to weigh for living costs, funding or grant eligibility.
This is a genuine opportunity for a farming family or commercial operator seeking a compact, operational Ayrshire unit within commuting distance of Kilmarnock and the M77. It will suit purchasers wanting an immediately usable livestock enterprise, while also offering potential to improve energy performance and modernise parts of the farmhouse and outbuildings.
