The property includes a well presented, 4 bed principal farmhouse, along with two further dwellings including a further three bedroom farmhouse and a three bedroom cottage.

The property is situated in an attractive rural location near Lanark and just a few miles from the M74 motorway, one of Scotland’s busiest transport links.

Alistair Christie, a partner with Galbraith, commented: “The farm benefits from an excellent location in a scenic yet accessible part of Lanarkshire. The farm has been home to the prestigious Watchknowe Texel flock and has been run as a beef and sheep farm, with grain and straw produced on farm, as well as some land having been let for potatoes.

There are two ranges of farm buildings, comprising a mixture of modern and traditional structures along with  modern slurry lagoon.

“There is also potential to develop Sandilands Farm Cottage and Burnhouse Farmhouse as additional accommodation, or perhaps as residential or short-term lets, subject to the necessary consents. The farm is offered for sale as a whole, but lotting options will be considered by the seller, offering potential for a variety of purchasers.”

Sandilands Farmhouse is a traditional stone-built farmhouse which  benefits from a biomass boiler and solar panels. The farmhouse offers spacious and flexible accommodation over two storeys including utility, kitchen, office, pantry, sitting room, dining room, lounge, four double bedrooms and family bathroom. There is a well-managed area of garden with greenhouse, lying to the east of the farmhouse.

Sandilands Farm Cottage provides accommodation all on one level, comprising kitchen, bathroom, sitting room, double bedroom and two single bedrooms. The property would benefit from modernisation throughout.

Burnhouse Farmhouse includes a kitchen, utility room, living room, four bedrooms and bathroom. The farmhouse would benefit from internal modernisation.
