DESCRIPTION
The farm sits in an elevated position above the Urr Estuary looking south towards the coastal village of Kippford and Solway Firth and the Lake District. The property offers a truly unique location and opportunity for the discerning buyer to create a successful diversified farming business. The property is offered as a whole or in 4 lots. The cottages were converted from the traditional farm steading between 2007 and 2011. In 2010 Planning Permission was obtained for the creation of a sympathetic development of 6 holiday chalets on land adjacent to the farm steading with stunning views of the Estuary.
Lot 1
Guide Price £2,200,000
Meikle Richorn Farm has been developed into a successful holiday business with 10 let cottages converted from the original traditional steadings. There is a large six bed farmhouse which is the family centre of operations. The farmhouse was previously subdivided and could be easily split to create an annexe or additional accommodation for a manager.
Floor plans of these can be found within the particulars.
Many of the properties enjoy far reaching views of the Urr Estuary and have an enclosed outdoor area. Each cottage benefits from its own hotub.
In addition there is a linen store to allow a swift turnover and management of the properties and a large bio-mass shed housing the 199kw bio-mass boiler which provides both heat and hot water to all of the properties.
Lot 2
Guide Price £350,000
