LOT 1: THISTLE DHU (About 35.5 acres)
Thistle Dhu House
The house is situated in an attractive elevated position, facing south with fantastic views over the countryside and towards the Firth of Forth.
Thistle Dhu, built in 2007, is of modern timber frame construction, finished in harl render painted white, under a pitched slate roof. The south façade includes large windows and Velux windows over the double-height dining hall, so as to benefit from the southerly aspect and to frame the stunning views.
The spacious family accommodation comprises three reception rooms, three bathrooms and four bedrooms. It is split across two floors, as shown on the floor plan and is laid out as follows:
Ground floor – dining hall, kitchen/breakfast room, lounge, sitting room, office, utility and WC.
First floor – principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The house is serviced by oil-fired central heating, a combination of mains electricity and electric generated from the wind turbine located in the paddock to the rear, a private water supply from a spring, and private drainage and soakaway. It also benefits from fibre optic broadband internet connection, double-glazing and insulation.
Adjacent to the house is a detached double garage, with electric garage doors. One of the garages is currently used as a gym.
The house is accessed via a well-maintained private track leading from the B914. It is encircled by a large fenced garden and driveway with ample space for parking. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and features paved landscaping and a timber deck which wraps round the house at the south and west. It provides external dining and somewhere to relax and enjoy the outlook and best of the sun.
Farm Buildings
Situated to the west of Thistle Dhu House is a range of both modern and traditional farm buildings providing storage and housing for livestock.
Both mains electricity and wind power supply electricity to the buildings. The water source is from the private spring.
The buildings can be described as follows:
Modern shed (approximately 12m x 30m): A five-bay shed of steel portal frame construction, a concrete floor, concrete panel walls, box profile cladding and box profile roof. The shed provides good storage and is currently used to store machinery.
Lambing shed (approximately 18m x 70m): A shed of timber pole-barn construction, with an earth floor, blockwork walls, corrugated cladding and an asbestos roof. The shed provides accommodation for lambing in excess of 400 sheep.
Hay barn (approximately 8m x 10m): A two-bay steel portal frame shed with an earth floor, corrugated cladding open to one side, and an asbestos roof. They shed is used for general storage.
Calving shed (approximately 10m x 15m): A three-bay steel portal frame shed with earth floor, half height brick and blockwork walls, with Yorkshire boarding and an asbestos roof. The shed provides housing for 10 cows during calving.
Land
Comprising four field compartments extending to approximately 35.5 acres, the land included in this lot is summarised as follows:
20 acres permanent pasture
11.5 acres rough grazings
2 acres woodland
2 acres miscellaneous.
Forestry
There is approximately one acre of mature conifers, located to the east of Thistle Dhu House, and one acre of open grazed woodland.
Wind Turbine
A 15kW wind turbine is located in the paddock to the north of the house and steading. It supplies electricity to Thistle Dhu House and the farm buildings, and therefore not only reduces the property’s carbon footprint, but also is economical.
The meter is located outwith the boundary of Roscobie Farm, in a neighbouring property. A right of access to this property exists for maintenance and repair purposes.
Telecoms Mast
Located to the south of the farm steading there is a telecoms mast, the site of which is leased to the emergency services for approximately £3,000 per annum.
Further information regarding the lease is available from the selling agents.
Development Potential
There is potential to develop equestrian facilities at Thistle Dhu, subject to the necessary planning consents. The vendors have had plans drawn up for the development of a riding arena with four stables and a tack room, in woodland adjacent to Thistle Dhu.
The vendors submitted a planning application, which they later withdrew after deciding to sell the farm.
Interested parties are advised to seek independent advice regarding such potential development opportunities that may exist in respect of this lot.
