4 GENERAL Airyolland Farm is situated in a stunning coastal location in the Machars area of Dumfries & Galloway. The property lies some 4 miles north west of Port William and about 9 miles south east of Glenluce and the A75 trunk road. This area lies within the climatically favoured south west corner of Scotland with the farm directly benefitting from the Gulf Stream, which makes for a mild climate and a long growing season. This has contributed to the area being one of the most productive grass growing regions within the United Kingdom. The well-known fishing village and tourist destination of Port William has local services including a primary school, hotel, restaurant, post office, hardware store and petrol station. The nearby town of Newton Stewart, 20 miles, provides a more extensive range of services including secondary schooling, leisure and sporting facilities, banks, supermarkets, a variety of shops and professional services you would expect to find in a major market town. Wigtown, with its renowned annual book festival is about 12 miles north east of Airyolland and Whithorn is around 10 miles to the south east and both offer a range of local services. Communications to the area are much improved with the A75 trunk road providing quick access from the south via the M6, A74 and M74. The ferry links to Northern Ireland run from Cairnryan, which is approximately a 30 minute drive from the farm. The international airports of Prestwick and Glasgow are about an hour and an hour and a half s drive from the property respectively. This area of south west Scotland is one of the most varied and picturesque parts of the country, incorporating a landscape which ranges from the moorland of the Southern Upland Hills to the bays, inlets and sandy beaches of the distinctive coastline. This is a rural county which has been relatively unscathed by modern industry, where agriculture and tourism thrive to form the backbone of the local economy. South west Scotland is well known for the quality of its field sports and the area offers boundless opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast, such as salmon and sea fishing on the nearby Cree, Bladnoch and Luce as well as sea fishing in Wigtown and Luce Bay. In addition, driven or walked up shooting is available on many local estates and for the golf enthusiast there are a number of excellent golf courses within easy reach of Airyolland. Given the proximity to the coastline there are good opportunities for all water sports with safe anchorages found at Port William and the nearby Isle of Whithorn. DESCRIPTION Airyolland is a highly productive residential, arable and stock rearing farm available for sale as a whole or in two lots. The farm has been improved and modernised in the last five years. The late Georgian farmhouse with three reception rooms and five bedrooms sits in a stunning position with panoramic views over Luce Bay towards the Mull of Galloway and the Isle of Man. To the north of the farm steading is a recently modernised cottage and adjacent to this is a cottage site with consent for the erection of a new cottage. Lying within Lot 2 there is a further stone cottage which could be renovated to provide an attractive traditional house. The modern and traditional farm steading are complemented by the land lying within a ring fence with good access tracks, which provide excellent rotational grazing of all field enclosures. Airyolland Farm extends in total to Ha ( Acres) in all and an acreage schedule is provided in these sale particulars. LOT 1 AIRYOLLAND FARMHOUSE Airyolland Farmhouse is of stone-built construction under a slated roof. The farmhouse occupies an elevated site with views across the southern part of the farm to the Irish Sea and the Isle of Man beyond. The property provides comfortable accommodation which is laid out in more detail within the floorplans. Garden Attractive well kept south facing garden with stunning views and grounds with large gravelled parking area to the rear. AIRYOLLAND COTTAGE Airyolland Cottage is situated to the north of the farm buildings and is of prefabricated construction under a tiled roof. The property has lovely open views and is conveniently located close to the farm steading. The accommodation, set out on one level, is laid out in more detail within the floorplans. Adjacent to the cottage is another cottage in a dilapidated state. Consent has been granted to demolish the cottage and build a replacement without any agricultural or other occupancy ties. Planning Ref. No: 16/P/1/0057 AIRYOLLAND FARM STEADING The steading is a mixture of traditional and modern buildings, briefly comprising: General Purpose Shed (22m x 18m) of concrete portal frame construction in 5 bays with Big Six roof. Cattle Court (18m x 9m) of timber and steel frame construction, subdivided into three pens. Range of Barns & Byres of traditional stone construction, arranged in a classic courtyard style. Within the courtyard, a new steel portal frame structure has been erected with cattle feeding barrier, thus utilising these traditional buildings. These buildings may have potential for further residential/ tourism or other development subject to obtaining the necessary consents. Extensive Cattle Handling & Sheep Handling Facilities Cattle Shed (36.6m x 14.6m) of steel portal frame construction under a fibre cement roof with Yorkshire board cladding. Stables two traditional and two large new loose boxes. Kennels

5 FARMLAND (LOT 1 AND LOT 2) The land at Airyolland extends in total to about Ha ( Acres) to include the areas occupied by the farmhouse, cottage, steadings, amenity woodland, shoreline etc. The land lies within a ring fence rising from sea level to about 119m above sea level. With the exception of about 79 acres of semi-commercial woodland and 6.6 acres of shoreline, the rest is in agricultural production, as defined by SGRPID ranging from croppable arable land through to upland permanent pasture. Lot 1 extends to about Ha ( Acres). The current owners/occupiers have undertaken an upgrading programme with several of the fields having been re-drained and new fences erected where required. Since 2010 an extensive programme of cultivation and re-seeding has taken place on the holding, with a number of fields having been in cereal production. All fields either have a mains water supply or are fed with natural water. The good sized field enclosures are easily accessed from a network of internal farm tracks. Airyolland has been farmed on a rotational grass basis and at present the farm is carrying 50 suckler cows and their progeny and 600 ewes with lambs at foot. Previously home to the 80 strong Annelshope Pedigree Luing Herd and 600 ewes, the farm has also in the past successfully carried 120 commercial cows and followers plus 600 ewes. The farm is more than self-sufficient in home-grown forage and cereals and its excellent track network is exceptionally well suited to modern paddock grazing systems with grass reseeding creating growth in excess of 100 kilos dry matter per hectare per day. Also of note is the surprisingly sheltered shore acreage which is ideal for out wintering cattle a common and productive practice in this Machars area of Scotland. LOT 2 Situated to the north of the farm steading is a single storey stone-built cottage in a redundant condition. Plans have been drawn up for its renovation and the cottage has a good southerly outlook, looking over Luce Bay towards the Isle of Man. Land Part of the land described above forms Lot 2 as shown on the accompanying plan and extends to about Ha ( Acres). DIRECTIONS From A75 turn onto A747 signed for Port William.
