LAND AND IRONAGE FORT AT BRAIDWOOD FARM
Description
*ACCOMPANIED VIEWING APPOINTMENTS NOT NECESSARY*
The land at Braidwood provides a wonderful and rare opportunity to acquire about 90 acres of grazing land. The land is predominantly south facing and there are wonderful, far reaching views to the east towards Edinburgh and East Lothian, west towards Biggar and south over the North Esk Valley and beyond.
The land is currently used for amenity and grazing purposes however, it has excellent potential for a variety of further uses including the keeping of horses and stock, trekking and cycling pursuits, amenity, tourism, camping, engagement with the community and educational purposes. The current owners let some of the land to a neighbouring farmer on seasonal grazing agreements which generate a useful income.
The land is currently split into three productive parcels which are well fenced and can all be accessed from the track which runs through the land. The fields benefit from several natural spring water supplies and two mains water pipes pass through. At its lowest point, the land lies at 280m and rises to 350m above sea level and is classified by the James Hutton Institute for Soil Research as Class 4.1 & 6.2. The land is available as a whole or in individual lots.
Lot 1 comprises one parcel of land which extends to about 25 acres in total. The land is down to grass and features a historic Ironage Fort at its highest point, Camp Hill. The pasture is lightly grazed at present and it is well fenced with good shelter for stock.
Lot 2 is the largest of the lots extending to about 41 acres. The land at lot 2 is down to grass which is best suited to grazing. Some areas, specifically on the eastern side, are suitable for growing fodder crops. In the south west corner there is a timber shelter belt which is reported to have approximately 125 tonnes of standing timber. There are also a number of mature hardwood trees.
Lot 3 lies adjacent to the main road and is about 17 acres. The land is down to grass and it is well suited for grazing and the production of hay and silage crops.
Location
The land at Braidwood is situated in a highly scenic and easily accessible location close to the historic town of Penicuik (3miles) and is a short distance from Edinburgh City Bypass (6.5miles) The land sits on the southern edge of the Pentland Hills Regional Park adjacent to the A702 trunk road linking Edinburgh to Biggar and beyond to the M74.

Additional Info
Historical Designations - At the top of Camp Hill there is a scheduled monument which comprises the remains of an oval shaped Ironage fort surviving as a series of earthworks which can be seen from above and on the ground.
Tourism Potential - One of the aims of the Pentland Hills Regional Park Plan Strategic Framework (2019 to 2028) is to develop the Pentland Hills as a Green Tourism destination and support a diverse range of sporting and recreational businesses (further information is available from the selling agent). The land offered for sale lies entirely within Pentland Hills Regional Park with direct access to around 100km of paths and tracks within the Park. NPF3 provides support for tourism, outdoor sports and recreation in rural areas, subject to obtaining appropriate approvals.
Agricultural Environmental Climate Scheme and Basic Payment Scheme - The current owners have been entered into an AECS scheme (Agri Environment Climate Scheme) which comes to an end in December 2022. The scheme encourages waders and wildlife, species rich grasslands, wader grazed grasslands and habitat mosaic management. An incoming purchaser will need to adhere to the management requirements until the expiry date. The entitlements (36 Region 1 and 1 Region 2) are included in the sale price. An incoming purchaser maybe able to claim payments for being in a less favoured area.
Retained Land - The owners wish to retain a strip of land extending to approximately 6 acres at the western end of the land holding to provide access to the Pentland Hills Regional Park. It is proposed that the ownership of the western access road would be retained and that entry to the subjects of sale would be exclusively taken by the purchaser from the eastern access point.
Right of Access - There is a right of access (which is also a Public Right of Way/Core Path) along the track that leads from the A702 to the neighbouring East Side Farm. There is a right of access over the land in favour of several adjoining properties to inspect and maintain the private water supply serving their respective properties.
Water Rights - The existing owners shall retain the exclusive water rights to Saltersyke Spring, being their private water supply which lies within the land close to the north eastern boundary and supplies their property lying to the south of the A702, with a right of servitude for access to upgrade and maintain this supply together with a right to connect into the mains supply, as required. A right of connection to the said private water supply can be obtained by a prospective purchaser by separate negotiation.
Utilities - Scottish Water mains water, Scottish Power mains electricity and Openreach fibre optic communications cables run through the property.
Future Development - The purchaser(s) will be obliged to enter into an agreement with the sellers whereby the purchaser or his/her successors will pay the sellers or their successors, 20% of any uplift in value resulting from development occurring for a period of 20 years, payable upon grant of planning permission.
