West Glensherraig Farm & Strathaulder, 3 bedroom Farmhouse, 2 bedroom cottage, sheds, steading and land extending in all to approximately 64 Ha (158 acres).

This is a truly exceptional opportunity to acquire a compact working farm with good grazing land centred around the yard area which has two properties, of exceptional standard built in the last ten years, a useful traditional steading and two outbuildings providing shelter, hay store and a general storage shed for plant and machinery. The properties have been let in recent years and are presented in move-in order with well tended garden areas and an idyllic outlook over the surrounding countryside. The fields extending to approximately 64 Ha (158 acres) are separated by a mixture of post and wire fences, in stock proof condition, with some mature hedgerows, areas of established woodlands and natural habitat with shrubs and heathers. The land is in good condition, well drained and provides good quality grazing, used for sheep and cattle. The land is predominantly Class 4.2 for agriculture and class F2 for forestry according to the National Soil Maps of Scotland. Each field is accessed from internal tracks which appear to be in good condition and allow easy access to the public road. The land is designated lfa and in an area of Scientifical Special Interest. Fields 5 & 7 have historically been subject to a woodland grant scheme, though we understand obligations are now ended.

Area Description

Burnbank & West Glensherraig are located in a spectacular position on the outskirts of Brodick on the beautiful Isle of Arran. The Isle of Arran (aka “Scotland in Miniature”) has everything to offer – a welcoming community, forest trails and mountain peaks, sheltered beaches, and a vast range of local heritage, crafts and produce.

Brodick, Arran’s capital, has two Co-op supermarkets, a great selection of individual shops, restaurants, cafés and a full range of services including a primary school, nursery, library and medical centre.

Brodick hosts the island’s main ferry terminal from which there are regular sailings throughout the day, serviced by Caledonian MacBrayne, to the mainland at Ardrossan/Troon. Commuters and travellers now benefit from Road Equivalent Tariff (ret) ferry fares. The port of Ardrossan & Troon both have a mainline rail station, with direct trains to Glasgow that connect with the ferry times, and is approximately 30 miles from Glasgow City Centre. Prestwick International Airport is 16 miles to the south of Ardrossan, with Glasgow International Airport 24 miles east of Ardrossan.

The village of Lamlash, only a short drive from Brodick, is home to the Island’s High School and hospital. It also offers a range of shops, restaurants and cafés. A frequent bus service runs around and across the island and, at Lochranza, there is a ferry terminal that allows quick access to the stunning West of Scotland via Claonaig. Kintyre here we come!
