Chapel Farm is a charming and adaptable small holding offering lifestyle or equestrian potential in an extremely accessible location in west central Scotland. The small holding, extending to about 100 acres (40.5 hectares), was once part of a larger in-hand farming operation but most recently the farmhouse has been occupied by a family member whilst the land has been rented on a seasonal basis to a local farmer. The property is offered for sale as a whole, or in two lots as described below.

LOT 1 - Chapel Farmhouse is a traditional stone and slate, two storey farmhouse with adjoining and adjacent traditional stone buildings providing storage and stabling, as well as a general purpose portal framed shed with a concrete floor. Accessed from the adjacent minor public road (which provides access to one other property), the house is south facing with generous enclosed gardens and outstanding countryside views. Included within the package is approximately 14.6 acres (5.9 hectares) of grazing land providing a privacy buffer around the property, suitable for keeping horses or other animals.

The property is presented over two floors as shown on the accompanying floorplans and is understood to have been significantly extended and remodelled in the 1950's to create the home you see today. The main front entrance leads into a generous reception hall from which all accommodation is accessible. The southern elevation of the house has a sizeable sitting room which benefits from triple aspect windows, providing a wealth of natural light, and also has an open fireplace. There is a small office off the sitting room, with a door leading to the south facing front garden. The kitchen/ breakfast room has a range of floor and wall units and benefits from an electric dual oven AGA. There is space for a small dining table and chairs and a drying pulley is suspended from the ceiling. Off the kitchen there is a boot room with an exterior door to the parking area beside the road. Off the main hall there is also a family bathroom. The remaining ground floor accommodation, which extends into the northern elevation of the house (on a slightly higher level with three steps up), features a bedroom (which would make a great office with fine views over the surrounding countryside), dining room and a family room (could be a further bedroom).

On the first floor there are three further bedrooms and a bathroom.

Adjoining the house is a a wood store and garage (which could potentially be extended into subject to appropriate consents) and opposite the house on the other side of the road there are further traditional buildings with original stable stalls and a wood store. Finally there is a secure steel portal frame building with a concrete floor which could be used for a variety of purposes including livestock and equestrian use, or as a workshop/general storage.

The L shaped house and garage sit within attractive gardens which are bounded by a stone dyke and post and rail fencing. There is a south facing patio which extends round to the west side of the house, and there are lawns to the south and west punctuated by mature trees and shrubbery providing a charming backdrop to the private garden with countryside views.

Farmland - There are 14.6 acres (5.9 hectares) of farmland surrounding the property, divided by the two adjacent roads, as shown on our accompanying sale plan. The land is split into six enclosures and is a mixture of classes 3(2), 4(2) and 5(3) according to the James Hutton Institute of Soil Research. The land is currently used for grazing purposes but could be cut for silage or hay. The lower fields are generally level, whilst the top fields are sloping, rising from 117m to 145m above sea level. The fields are watered by private water supply or natural sources.

LOT 2 - Lot 2 comprises the remaining farmland, which extends to approximately 85.6 acres (34.6 hectares) within two distinct blocks, separated by the road leading from Chapel Farm, past Clachers and onward to High Mathernock. Whilst this is a registered public road, it is not maintained by the Council and is no longer a through road due to being impassable at Clachers (but accessible from both ends to this point). The land is a mixture of classes 4(2) and 5(3) with private or natural water sources.

The land rises from 118m to 190m at the highest point, and provides good grazing and outwintering for livestock. The private water source and collection tank for Chapel Farmhouse is located on the hill and if lot 2 is sold separately, the appropriate rights will be reserved to use and maintain this.
