Description
Description
Brisbane Mains Farm was originally a larger beef and sheep hill farm, however the hill ground was sold in recent years, with the remaining 39 acres of in-bye pasture being retained for livestock grazing. The farm is offered as an attractive package comprising a farmhouse, buildings and about 39 acres with outstanding views over the surrounding farmland, hills and the Firth of Clyde beyond. The farm is accessed via a hardcore track leading from the Brisbane Glen Road which runs through the holding and provides access to the farmhouse, buildings and all field enclosures.
The farmhouse forms part of the traditional stone and slate U-shaped range of buildings which were constructed circa 1807 (as the home farm for Brisbane Estate) and designed by James Gillespie. The house and buildings are Category B Listed and unusually follow a curved formation to the northeast and northwest elevations. The accommodation is principally presented over the ground floor with access from the courtyard via a sun room (where there is a boot area and office) leading to the hallway with a south facing kitchen (benefiting from a large walk in pantry), bathroom, sitting room (with south facing windows and a large wood burning stove), dining room and two bedrooms. There is access to the loft space via a door and stairs from the sitting room which is floored and has been historically used as further bedroom accommodation.
To the south and east of the house is an attractive, enclosed garden split between lawned areas and raised beds for vegetable growing. From the eastern elevation there is access to a cellar below the farmhouse.
Adjoining the farmhouse is the U-shaped courtyard of buildings around a further brick built byre in the central courtyard. The byre is used for the current sheep handling system whilst the surrounding buildings are used for logs and general storage. Historically there were stables for horses and there is potential to create further stabling. To the north is an offset portal framed building used as a hay barn and hard standing area.
The farmland extending to 39 acres is all in permanent pasture. It is classified as a combination of Class 4 and Class 5 by the James Hutton Institute. The land varies in altitude between 165m and 191m above sea level and is currently utilised for sheep grazing with part in-hand and the rest on a seasonal grazing licence expiring on 31 October 2024.
Brisbane Mains historically formed part of Brisbane Estate, seat of the Brisbane family and most famous for its association with Sir Thomas Makdougall Brisbane, 1st Baronet (1773 - 1860) who, following a distinguished military career serving under the Duke of Wellington, was appointed as governor of New South Wales in Australia where the city of Brisbane still bears his name.
Location
Brisbane Mains Farm is situated in North Ayrshire on the outskirts of the charming coastal town of Largs and within the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park where rolling landscapes blend into the stunning Ayrshire coastline. The farm sits in a picturesque setting with all the benefits of country living, yet is only minutes from town. Located around 30 miles west of Glasgow and about 20 miles from Glasgow Airport, Largs is well-served with local shops and amenities including a supermarket, banks, medical centre, 2 golf courses, primary and secondary schools as well as the famous Nardini’s ice cream parlour and restaurant. The surrounding area is renowned for its active farming community, as well as country sporting, sailing and leisure opportunities.
Communication links in the area are excellent: both the A78 and A737 are within close proximity and join up with the M8 near Glasgow. Glasgow Airport (26 miles) and Glasgow Prestwick Airport (30 miles) offer a wide range of domestic, European and international flights.
For water enthusiasts, the Firth of Clyde provides some of Scotland’s best sailing waters with acclaimed marinas at both Largs and Inverkip. Largs is home to Largs Yacht Haven, which is one of the largest marinas in Scotland, providing berthing and facilities for sailing enthusiasts, while hosting various sailing events throughout the year. Gourock, Wemyss Bay and Inverkip offer ferry connections to Dunoon, Bute and Kilcreggan, giving access to some of the most spectacular locations in Scotland. The Ayrshire coast is also renowned worldwide for golfing, with championship courses at Troon, Prestwick and Turnberry.
