Description
A Fertile and Well Maintained Mixed Farm
Description
Extending to approximately 485 acres, Parkgatestone Farm is an equipped, traditional mixed farm located within the Biggar Valley. At the heart of the farm and directly accessed from the public road is a five bedroom farmhouse, and an extensive range of traditional and modern sheds. Many of the farm buildings have been upgraded over the years to suit modern farming practices.
Much of the land at Parkgatestone is utilised for temporary grass leys, forage crop and arable production. The cropping has included spring barley, swede, turnips, kale and rotational grazing. In line with the current farming system, two cuts of silage are taken per annum, although the land would be capable of producing up to four. Spring barley yields of 2.2-3.4 tonnes per acre have been reported in recent years.
The farm has been run in-hand by the vendors since 2017, with a focus on running commercial breeding sheep and beef cattle with arable rotations. The farm currently runs a flock of 1,250 breeding ewes and 250 store cattle. Lambs and cattle are finished on farm. Woodland shelter belts provide practical shelter and amenity to the holding with livestock outwintered.
The land can be summarised as follows, arable / silage 304 acres, pasture 131 acres, rough grazing 34 acres, woodland 5 acres, misc. 9 acres.
The South Lanarkshire area experiences an average rainfall of 930mm per year, and temperatures typically remain above freezing in winter, with an average of 14°C in July. (source: Drumalbin weather station -
Parkgatestone Farmhouse
The traditional stone farmhouse dates back to the 1850s and has been extended over time. It sits adjacent to the farm buildings, with its own front drive and parking. The accommodation is split over two levels and provides comfortable and spacious family accommodation.
Notably, the accommodation includes a dining kitchen,
sitting room, dining room, bedroom and shower room on the ground floor, four bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. In addition there are a number of service rooms and stores. There is scope for the house to be renovated to provide further accommodation.
Details are shown in the accompanying floorplans and photographs.
In recent years the vendors have carried out a number of improvements, including the installation of a new bathroom on the first floor, a wood burning stove, electric central heating, double glazing and roof insulation. In addition they have redecorated rooms and maintained the roof and chimney stacks as and when required. To the front of the house is a garden mainly laid to lawn and a paddock which could easily be incorporated into the garden.
Farm Buildings
The farm buildings are made up of both modern and traditional construction which have been adapted over the years as required. They provide livestock housing, grain storage and general storage. The farm steading benefits from a private water supply from the hill, and three phase mains electricity. The steading is largely concreted and provides adequate space for gathering livestock and large machinery.

Land
The land extends to approximately 485 acres in total and comprises 304 acres of arable/grass leys, 131 acres permanent pasture, 34 acres of rough grazings and 5 acres woodland.
Land classification for the holding includes areas of class 4.1, class 4.2 and class 5.3 by the James Hutton Institute for Soil Research, which lends itself to sustaining mixed agriculture. Soils are part of the Linhope series (brown earths), or alluvial, as defined, and present on the farm as a sandy loam that is relatively free draining. The undulations of Parkgatestone rise from about 200m (~600ft) above sea level along the northern boundary of the farm to 330m (~1000ft) above sea level close to the southern boundary.
The farm layout is practical and workable for both arable and livestock management. It benefits from being well fenced throughout with suitable access gates. Stock can be gathered
and worked easily within the farmyard. There is mains electric fencing, servicing fields to the north of the public road. This also enables provision for rotational grazing practices.
The land has benefitted from being in arable rotations, with a large proportion of the grazing being reseeded after break crops like swedes, kale, turnips or spring barley. Care has been taken to improve soil health in respect to lime applications and utilising farmyard manures to build organic matter levels.
Each compartment has access to water, which is provided from a nearby spring and many of the troughs have been upgraded.
Location
Parkgatestone Farm sits within the Parish of Broughton, Glenholm and Kilbucho, on the edge of South Lanarkshire and the Borders. The area is renowned for its productive agricultural land which is suited for mixed and livestock farming due to its moderate rainfall and well drained soils.
