Land

The land is classified as Grades 3(2) and 4(1) by the James Hutton Institute, within Less-Favoured Area, and would suit a mixed farming system, capable of being cropped, lying from 19m to 43m above sea level with a south-westerly aspect. Fields are mainly stockproof with field troughs available and some fed by mains supply. Access is taken from the main public road with field entrances suitable for modern machinery in most instances.

In recent years the farm has been cropped with potatoes and spring barley, the farm itself however has been known for its ability to produce fattened cattle and heavy bushel weights.

It should be noted the land is leased again in 2026 but will be available for entry to the purchaser post harvest 2026.

Milton Farmhouse

Milton Farmhouse is an attractive and well proportioned three-bedroom dwelling which enjoys outstanding views over surrounding farmland. The house can be considered in two parts, namely the front and the single storey wing to the rear (the original building). Renovation works have been ongoing in both sections of the house, with the single storey wing fully extensively renovated in 2020/21.

Works to the single storey included framing and insulation (2” Quinntherm sheets), roof timber treatments, complete rewire, renewal of the plumbing system, installation of a new oil fired combi boiler and CH system, new kitchen and bathroom, new concrete lintel fitted above the sink come draining area, and new vinyl sheet flooring fitted in the living room/kitchen/bathroom and most of the utility room.

The front double storey section of the house has benefited recently from joinery work to replace floor joist ends (all rooms except the small bedroom), pipework installed for radiators throughout, hot & cold pipes included in the small bedroom (to allow for potential conversion to upstairs bathroom). A full rewire has been complete in this section of the house, with the central heating pipework only requiring a simple connection into the system servicing the single storey section of the house to provide heating throughout (and radiators to be fitted).

Milton house still requires works to complete the renovation but it offers a superb opportunity for those looking to make their own mark on a large family home with a renovated kitchen, bedroom and bathroom to the rear to live in until the remaining house is ready.

Finally, there is a large garden area laid to lawn that offers ample space to the front of the house and wraps around the side to the rear. In addition, there is garage and gravel driveway with turning areas for multiple cars.
