DESCRIPTION
The main farmhouse at Brecklate has been extensively renovated to create a stylish, spacious and practical family home. The property has been beautifully decorated throughout and is being offered in walk in condition. Brecklate includes 4/5 bedrooms, including a large ground floor bedroom with en-suite, originally the farm stables, with a delightful galleried mezzanine, ideal as a reading space, play area or as additional accommodation. Also on the ground floor is a sitting room/study and further room with wood burning stove, which could also be used as a bedroom. There is also a large utility room and cloakroom. The architect designed open plan kitchen dining living area provides a delightful, practical space to relax and entertain. From here is access to 2 first floor bedrooms and large bathroom. A further first floor bedroom with en-suite is reached via a dedicated staircase from the main hall. In recent years, Brecklate has operated as a successful Bed and Breakfast offering high end accommodation. With 2 bedrooms and a sitting room that can be used and accessed independently, the property is ideally suited for use in this way.

Adjoining Brecklate to the rear is a substantial former stone byre. The building is now used as a garage, boot room and kennel with the option to create stables in one of the other outbuildings if required. From here is access to a ground floor office, originally the farm creamery, a conservatory and another utility room beyond. Solar panels have also been installed which benefit from a feed in tariff of approximately £600/per annum.

GARDEN AND GROUNDS
An extensive and very pretty garden extends to the front of the property and includes a large area of lawn sloping down to a delightful orchard. To the rear of the property are two large paddocks. The western paddock immediately behind Brecklate includes a fenced off area with polytunnel and separate area with chicken run. The second paddock lies to the north and is accessed by crossing one of two pretty tree lined burns that run through the grounds where they mark the boundary.

OUTBUILDINGS
In addition to the former byre, is an extensive range of outbuildings accessed via the courtyard to the rear of the property which also provides parking for several cars. These outbuildings include traditional stone farm buildings. More recent additions include a large, agricultural shed adjoining the former cow byre, which has been converted for equestrian use with the professional installation of 4 loose boxes. There is also an open fronted wood/hay store, separate stone shed with electricity, water and working forge and detached, large games room/stable/store. All the outbuildings have been well maintained and offer scope for use in a variety of ways.

ACCESS
Brecklate is accessed from the main road via a shared private drive leading to the rear courtyard. To the side of this drive is an access track owned by the neighbouring farmer.

DIRECTIONS
From Glasgow, take the A82 towards Loch Lomond. Take the turn onto the A83 signposted Campbeltown and continue along the coast road. In Campbeltown, follow signs for Southend and the B842. The property is situated about 3 miles north of Southend on the right hand side.
