An impressive arable and livestock rearing farm in Dumfriesshire
Dinwoodie Green Farm was purchased by the current owners in 2018 and has been used for a beef, sheep and arable enterprise. The farm was formerly part of the Crown Estate and until 2016 was operating as a dairy farm. The farmland sits in three blocks intersected by the M74, B7076 and the railway line, but all accessible via convenient internal tracks and over-bridges. In total the farm extends to about 319 acres with a Category C Listed farmhouse, three farm cottages and a useful range of modern and traditional farm buildings.
Dinwoodie Green Farmhouse is a substantial five bedroom Category C Listed farmhouse dating back to the mid-late 18th century which enjoys a south facing position. The farmhouse is of stone and slate construction and has accommodation over two floors, as shown on the accompanying floorplans.
The front door opens into a vestibule, with traditional tiled floor, leading to a central hallway which provides access to a sitting room, living room, cloakroom, rear porch and the open plan kitchen/family room, off which is a 5th bedroom/study. The kitchen/family room has recently been completed and is very much the heart of the home. It features a modern kitchen with range cooker and ample space for a dining table and living room furniture. Beyond this multi-use space, there is a farm office, pantry, utility room and access to the garage / woodstore with connected workshop beyond. From the main hallway, a staircase leads to the first floor landing where there are four bedrooms, a box room, a family bathroom and separate shower room. The farmhouse benefits from predominantly UPVC / timber framed double glazed windows and oil fired central heating (via a combi-boiler installed in 2021).
Adjacent to the railway are the three cottages of stone / rendered blockwork and slate construction. Cottages 2 and 3 are semi-detached and located to the east of the railway line whilst Cottage 1 is detached and on the west side of the railway. The cottages can be briefly described as follows:
Cottage 1 Kitchen, living room, three bedrooms and bathroom. Currently vacant.
Cottage 2 Kitchen, living room, two bedrooms and bathroom. Let on Short Assured Tenancy.
Cottage 3 Kitchen, living room, two bedrooms and bathroom. Currently vacant and in need of full refurbishment.
The farm benefits from a large range of predominantly modern farm buildings set around the traditional courtyard with easy access to the cattle accommodation providing cubicles for over 260 head. The yards which are principally concrete are well laid out enabling easy movement of stock and good access to surrounding fields as shown on the accompanying plan. Adjacent to the silage clamp is an IAE cattle handling system which allows one person to work with livestock with ease.
Dinwoodie Green Farm sits in three distinct parcels. The farm extends to about 319 acres in total and lies between 60 to 120 metres above sea level. The majority of land is classified as grades 3(2) and 4 according to the James Hutton Institute for Soil Research. Access to the farmland is excellent via internal access tracks and bridges and all field enclosures benefit from a water supply either via water troughs or natural supply. The land is predominantly down to grass with exception of 60 - 70 acres of spring barley grown annually.
