Land At Wester Lennieston, Thornhill, Stirling, Stirlingshire, FK8

Productive arable land and grazing in Stirlingshire

Description

Extending to about 154 acres in total, the land at Wester Lennieston Farm lies between 70m and 150m above sea level and it is classified by the James Hutton Institute for soil research as classes 4.1 and 4.2. The soil is mainly derived from the Gourdie series comprising non calcareous gleys with peaty gleys.


The land is south facing and it sits in a contiguous, ring fenced block. The land is gently rolling and it is made up of both arable and permanent pastures. All of the fields are well fenced and have water troughs which are fed from a mains supply.

The land is accessed off the A873 via a farm track (along the route marked A - B on the sale plan).

The pasture typically runs a flock of 120 breeding ewes and a neighbouring farmer purchases the standing arable crop from the seller once it has been established. Typically spring barley or spring oats have been grown.

Vacant possession of the land will be granted post harvest 2025.

Basic Payment Scheme Entitlement (BPS): There are 55.78 units of Region 1 entitlements included in the sale. For the avoidance of doubt the 2025 payment will be retained by the seller.
