Colliston, Arbroath, Angus DD11

Desirable arable farm near the Angus coast

Description
Whitehall extends in total to 151 acres of predominately class 2 arable land with a comfortable farmhouse, well equipped range of modern and traditional agricultural buildings and cottage at its core.

Historically the farm was part of the Letham Grange Estate and has consistently focussed on growing high yields of combinable crops and root vegetables, whilst retaining livestock on the farm, which has improved the soil health and rotation.

Farmhouse
Whitehall Farmhouse is a five bedroom farmhouse which enjoys a private setting with outstanding views of the surrounding countryside. The farmhouse is of stone and slate construction and has accommodation over two floors, as shown on the accompanying floorplans.

The house is surrounded by well maintained gardens, framed by established hedging that offer both privacy and shelter. In the corner of the garden is a relatively new summer house with a southerly aspect. There is a tarmacadam parking area located to the rear.

The front door opens into a welcoming hallway, providing access to two well-proportioned bedrooms on either side; one of which is the principal bedroom, featuring a newly installed en suite shower room and dressing area. From the hallway, there is also access to a family shower room and back staircase providing access to bedroom/office.

The sitting room, which benefits from a recently installed wood burning stove, links to a hallway, which leads to the rear entrance and kitchen. The main stairway leads to the first floor landing, two further bedrooms and a box room.

Cottage
Whitehall Farm Cottage is a detached, stone built property under a pitched tiled roof. It offers comfortable, well- maintained accommodation across a single storey, comprising a kitchen, sitting room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. It is ideal for extended family or staff accommodation and also provides the potential for a holiday let (subject to the necessary consents). The cottage is situated on the farm access and has
parking for two vehicles.

Farm Buildings
Whitehall is equipped with a range of modern and traditional farm buildings. There is ample yard space surrounding the buildings allowing for easy movement of machinery and stock. The steading benefits from good vehicular access, including turning and loading for articulated HGVs. It is conveniently located for access to the surrounding fields and is serviced by a private water supply and mains three phase electricity.

The traditional range of buildings, whilst still used for storage of machinery and cows, offer the potential for redevelopment or a site for a modern shed (subject to the necessary consents).

Land
Whitehall Farm extends to approximately 151 acres (61 hectares) in total, comprising predominantly arable land used for growing combinable crops, vegetables and good quality grass for livestock.

The vast majority of the land is classified by the James Hutton Institute for Soil Research as Class 2. The soils can be described as humus-iron podzols of medium loam. The land is gently rolling, measuring between 35m to 65m above sea level.
Whitehall has benefited from the application of muck from the cattle, which has increased its organic matter. The farm is well-fenced, with mains water supplied to fields used for grazing livestock. All fields are easily accessible either directly from the public road network or via the farm tracks.

The land is registered under the Basic Payment Scheme (bps)

Location
Whitehall is located in the heart of Angus, one of Scotland’s most renowned agricultural regions in an area of highly productive farmland. Situated a few miles from the coast, it boasts rich soils and benefits from a milder climate than found further inland.

The county of Angus, extending from Dundee in the southwest to Montrose in the northeast, comprises fertile agricultural land, farmland, sandy beaches and glorious heather glens. The area is known particularly for its production of soft fruit, egetables, potatoes, cereals and bulbs as well as being home to the iconic Aberdeen Angus breed of cattle. Many of Scotland’s most recent agricultural pioneers originate from the
Golden Mile, inspired and enabled by the underlying quality of the farmland in the region.

Transport links are excellent. There is a mainline station at Arbroath with an East Coast service to Aberdeen, Edinburgh and the south. Dundee offers a range of business, retail and leisure services expected of a major city, together with a regional airport with direct flights to London Heathrow. The
A92 dual carriageway provides good access between Dundee and Arbroath.

The local agricultural infrastructure is well developed, with access to a range of merchants, machinery dealers and a successful machinery ring.
