Description
Situation
Hillhouse Farm comprises a productive grassland unit extending to 76.30Ha (188.56 Acres) which is currently run as a livestock farm. In previous years some of the land has been down to cereals and was a mixed livestock enterprise. The property is situated in a rural yet accessible location within a short distance of the market town of Lanark and is also only a few miles off the M74 motorway, one of Scotland’s busiest transport routes.
The town of Lanark is a historic market town famous for its close ties to William Wallace, its UNESCO listed Cotton Mill Village and its uniquely flavourful local cheese, Lanark Blue cheese from sheep’s milk. Lanark offers access to both a local primary school and secondary schooling along with a wide range of amenities and supermarkets and garden centres. Most importantly the town is home of the renowned Lanark Auction Mart. From an agricultural point of view, there is also a veterinary practice who cover farm and equestrian disciplines and agricultural merchants and suppliers. The area is also well off for agricultural machinery dealerships for the supply and repair of machinery.
Agriculturally the surrounding area of South Lanarkshire provides an attractive location with a combination of productive pasture and arable ground with rolling hills in the distance.
The city of Glasgow is only 30 miles north northwest of Hillhouse Farm and offers everything you would expect from a bustling city. There are the world-renowned arts facilities, museums, entertainment, leisure and concert venues and several retail and business facilities in and around the city centre. Glasgow offers a substantial range of educational facilities from nursery age right through to college and universities as well as a selection of private schooling establishments which are all renowned for their high standards in education provisions. Glasgow Airport provides regular flights within the UK, across Europe and worldwide.
Description
Hillhouse Farm provides for a productive livestock unit which extends to 76.30Ha (188.56 Acres) of mostly grassland with some of the higher land being rough grazing and areas of regenerated woodland.

The road splits the holding with large areas of grassland located north and south of Eastertown Road.
