Livestock farm with development potential in accessible location
News 25 October 2023
Galbraith is bringing to the market Meikle Hareshaw Farm, an attractive livestock farm in an accessible but private location within South Lanarkshire. The farmhouse at Meikle Hareshaw is located centrally within the holding and provides accommodation over two floors, along with an enclosed garden fringed by mature trees, with views to the south. The farmhouse requires complete modernisation throughout, but along with adjoining courtyard buildings, it presents a rare opportunity to develop and extend the existing footprint to create a substantial family home.
Duncan Barrie, a partner with Galbraith, said: “Meikle Hareshaw has been occupied by the same family for almost a 100 years and offers a compact and versatile livestock unit, within a sought after area close to the popular town of Strathaven. The farmhouse offers a blank canvas to create a superb family home, incorporating the adjoining byres into the property if desired and subject to planning permission. The farmland is in good heart and there is a range of traditional and modern agricultural buildings, previously used for sheep, pigs and cattle, all within easy reach of Glasgow and the rest of the central belt.”
Meikle Hareshaw Farm is located approximately 2.5 miles from the village of Drumclog and 7.5 miles to the south west of Strathaven, a historic market town with an excellent range of local services, shops and restaurants. The farm is within easy commuting distance of Glasgow, which is 30 miles distant, while Glasgow Airport is also about 30 miles.
There is a range of useful and more modern farm buildings located adjacent to the farmhouse, which could continue to be used for agricultural purposes but may present a number of alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The farmland extends to about 73.1 hectares (180.80 acres) of grazing and pasture land, principally grade 4.2 and 5.2 with small areas of Grade 6.3. The land has been let on a seasonal basis in recent years. There is good vehicular access to farmhouse, steading and almost all of the fields from adjacent public roads.
