Brought to the market by leading consultancy Galbraith, West Binny Farm extends to approximately 202.94 acres and offers a compelling mix of an attractive residential house, productive arable and pasture ground, and an extensive range of modern farm buildings all situated in an elevated and accessible rural setting.
Situated just north of the village of Dechmont and within close proximity to Linlithgow and major transport links including the M8, the farm combines traditional charm with modern functionality.
Duncan Barrie, Partner at Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “West Binny Farm offers buyers the best of both worlds: an exceptionally well equipped and productive farm with real scope for a range of agricultural enterprises, all within easy reach of Edinburgh. Opportunities like this in such a desirable location are increasingly rare.”
At the heart of the farm is an attractive and well maintained three-bedroom traditional farmhouse, positioned to take advantage of panoramic views across the West Lothian countryside towards the Pentland Hills.
The house benefits from a large well cared for garden area which surrounds the house and the internal accommodation has been tastefully refurbished throughout.
The farm is equipped with an extensive and adaptable range of agricultural buildings offer flexibility for a variety of agricultural operations and potential scope for other non-farming uses subject to obtaining necessary consents.
The steading includes a modern cubicle shed with 135 cubicles and a dedicated area previously used to house robotic milkers presenting an obvious opportunity for reinstating a dairy herd on the farm. The buildings currently cater for up to 400 head of cattle and include several slatted and straw bed cattle courts, machinery sheds, silage pit, modern grain store and a 200,000 gallon slurry store.
The land is classified by the James Hutton Institute as predominantly Grade 3.1 & 3.2 with some areas of Grade 4 and 5 land, offering an excellent mix of arable, silage, pasture and grazing ground. The fields are well sized, easily accessible and benefit from having had continuous investment in drainage and soil improvement.
Traditionally, the surrounding area is known for its fertile land, capable of producing high yields of a versatile range of crops and livestock production. The area is well served by a variety of agricultural contractors, merchants and suppliers whilst regular livestock sales are held at UA Agricultural Centre and Caledonian Mart which are about 25 miles to the northwest and Lanark market which is about 27 miles to the southwest.
