Land

The IACS registered land at Newfield Farm is situated to the north of the farmhouse and buildings, being split into 10 field parcels and extending to 23.87 hectares (58.98 acres) or thereby. The land slopes gently towards the railway line and the Wick River, and ranges from approximately 3 metres to 11 metres above sea level. The land is classified as Grade 3(2) by the James Hutton Institute.

The productive land to the south of the railway line has been used to grow Spring Barley and Spring Oats in the past as well as being in grass and cut for hay or silage to support the farm. The land to the north of the railway line has been retained as permanent pasture and rough grazings, making it well-suited for grazing livestock or as interesting hacking routes for those with equine interests. Newfield Farm was formerly run as an equestrian livery centre alongside the modest farming operation. The farm is registered with SGRPID, with a farm code of 73/283/0208. In addition, a generous 60 metre x 20 metre enclosed sand exercise arena is situated a short distance to the north-east of the farm buildings.

Buildings

Situated to the east of the farmhouse, Newfield Farm is served by a range of traditional and modern buildings, providing useful storage space for agricultural and equine purposes. All buildings are serviced by mains water and single/three-phase electricity. With a total Gross External Area of 805 square metres. They comprise: steel portal frame workshop / cattle court (18m x 9m); steel portal frame dutch barn (18m x 9m); traditional and block-built stables / byre (16m x 8m), (7.5m x 4m) and (30m x 4m), block-built tack/ store room (12m x 4m) and timber stables (30m x 4m).

The range of buildings, whilst in need of some repairs, would enable the establishment of a fantastic equine livery centre once again, or as a well-equipped hobby farm. Stabling provide boxes for 14 horses with ample room for expansion. There also is scope to convert the cattle court into further stabling or as a covered farrier bay / wash-down bay.

Newfield Farmhouse

Newfield Farmhouse is a typical traditional Caithness one-and-a-half-storey farmhouse of stone construction with a tiled roof. With a modest flat-roofed extension to the rear of the property, the accommodation formerly comprised three bedrooms, living room and dining kitchen with a family bathroom and front entrance porch. There is also a lean-to on the eastern end of the house, comprising a compact cloakroom.

This bright, south-facing property has already been stripped out internally revealing timber frames and rafters within the stone envelope, allowing one to appreciate the space the property offers. With careful and sympathetic design, this could make for a substantial and charming family home.

Subject to obtaining the necessary and relevant Local Authority Consents, Newfield Farmhouse could be easily extended to increase its floor area and accommodation and make the most of it's idyllic south-facing aspect.

Externally, the property features generous garden lawn space to the front of the dwellinghouse, as well as a modest, enclosed walled garden with beautiful decorative cast iron railings.

Also included are two useful storage units/cabins which have been fitted with power and water connections.
