Description
Castlehill Farm is situated within Inverclyde, approximately 1.2 miles southeast of Port Glasgow. Port Glasgow offers a good range of amenities, including supermarkets, primary and secondary schooling, and leisure facilities. The property is well positioned for access to the larger town of Greenock (6.4 miles), which provides a more extensive range of retail, commercial and transport facilities, including a train station with direct links to Glasgow.
The farm is situated approximately 2.4 miles from the A8 trunk road, which provides direct access to the M8 motorway and links to Glasgow, Glasgow Airport and Scotland’s wider motorway network. Glasgow Airport is conveniently located approximately 12.9 miles away, offering both domestic and international travel options.
Independent schooling is available at Lomond School in Helensburgh, approximately 10 miles from the property, with a wider selection of private schools available within the Greater Glasgow area.
The area is well supported by the agricultural supply industry and livestock markets. Craig Wilson Livestock Auction Market, Ayr, is located approximately 42.5 miles to the south, while United Auctions’ Stirling Agricultural Centre is situated approximately 51.4 miles to the northeast.
Castlehill Farm presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a stock-rearing unit, formerly operated as a dairy enterprise until the cessation of milk production in 2007. The farm comprises a three-bedroom farmhouse, an adjoining traditional steading, and a range of more modern outbuildings, together with approximately 40.68 Ha (100.51 Ac) of silage ground, grazing land, and established native broadleaf woodland.
The farmhouse adjoins a barn conversion comprising two additional dwellings, which are excluded from the sale and are being retained by the seller. These dwellings will benefit from a right of access over the private road, as well as access into the rear courtyard for access purposes only, with no associated parking rights.
Castlehill Farm is offered for sale as a whole.
Castlehill Farmhouse is of traditional stone and slate construction and offers spacious accommodation over two storeys, comprising: kitchen, dining room, bathroom, living room, lounge, three bedrooms, office/bedroom, utility, shower room, loft and a semi floored attic which houses the water tank. The dining room forms a flat room extension which is constructed of brick with a fibreglass roof.
The property benefits from mains water and single-phase electric, septic tank drainage (which will require registration), and oil-fired central heating. The farmhouse is also double glazed throughout. Access is provided via a long private driveway, and the property benefits from a lawned garden to the rear, with ample parking to the front.
