DESCRIPTION
Crawlaw Farm comprises a productive and compact mixed dairy unit centred on an attractive traditional farmhouse and excellent range of modern and traditional farm buildings which are surrounded by a versatile area of farmland extending to approx. 106.84 Ha (264.00 Acres) in total including roads, yards and buildings.
The farmhouse and farm buildings including modern milking parlour, associated cattle housing and fodder storage, are located centrally within the principal block of farmland at Crawlaw Farm, and accessed via a private farm road which leads from the A719. There is a further block of land at Berryhill which is located separately and lies about 1.5 miles to the north of the farm.
FARMING HISTORY
Crawlaw has been owned by the same family for almost 100 years and at that time the holding originally comprised 100 acres with a traditional milking byre. During the current owner’s tenure the farm has benefited from the addition of more modern cubicle sheds, outdoor silage clamps, and a straw shed, with a new dairy complex being added in 2000 housing 10 point Gascoigne parlour. The land holding has been extended over the years with the addition of land at Polbaith immediately to north of the farm, and the land at Berryhill taking the total land holding to 106.84 Ha (264.00 Acres). The current farming system is centred on the milking of 100 cows although historically the farm has run 130 milking cows plus followers with about 160 acres cut for silage and about 25-30 acres of Spring Barley grown each year.

Land at Lot 1 extending to 91.31 Ha (225.63 Acres)
The land at Lot 1 extends to approximately 91.31 Ha (225.63 Acres) in total including roads, yards and buildings. The majority of the farmland has been classified as Grade 3.2 and Grade 4.1/4.2, with a small area of Grade 6.2 by the James Hutton Institute, indicating the land is capable of producing consistently good yields of fodder and cereal crops. The arable and silage ground has benefited from a healthy application of manure and slurry generated on the farm, and a continuous programme of ditching and drainage works, has ensured the land is farmed to its maximum potential. The land is relatively free draining allowing for two or more cuts of silage each year along with a Spring Barley rotation.
The land is gently undulating but generally of a southerly aspect rising overall from 50m above sea level at its lowest point to south of the holding to 127m at its highest point to the north east of the farm. The fields are well laid out and of a generous size, easily accommodating modern machinery. The farmland at Crawlaw is split into 3 blocks by the public roads with all the land farmed in hand and each enclosure benefits from access to either natural source supplies or water troughs which are fed from a private spring supply which is backed up with a mains connection. The principal block of farmland at Crawlaw benefits from an excellent level of access directly from the internal farm road which leads from A719 to the farmhouse and steading with the remainder of the fields to the south of the holding being readily accessible directly off the main public roads.
