4 Description Newmains is a productive stock farm with an extensive range of predominantly modern framed buildings with loose bedded accommodation for over 80 head of cattle plus followers. The farmhouse and buildings sit centrally to the land which is easily accessed from the main road or internal tracks and comprises largely ploughable silage ground. The farm has been in the family for over 40 years and has benefited from significant capital investment over these years with ongoing improvements to the farmhouse, buildings and farmland. The farmhouse provides comfortable family accommodation including a kitchen, two reception rooms, four bedrooms and a family bathroom and shower room. To either side of the farmhouse are traditional buildings, originally housing the dairy, however more recently they have been utilised as ancillary storage to the farmhouse. The property extends in total to about acres and is predominantly ploughable pasture and woodland shelterbelts. The land is gently undulating, ranging from 240m to 260m above sea level, and is classified as principally class 4 1 with a small area of class 5, by the James Hutton Institute for Soil Research. All winter fodder is produced on the farm and silage can be taken off the majority of the farmland. With regular applications of manure as well as ongoing drainage works, the land is in good heart. The unit currently carries 25 suckler cows plus followers and winters approximately 150 ewe hoggs. Lot 1: Newmains Farm acres Farmhouse The farmhouse is situated in a prominent position overlooking the farm and surrounding countryside.
