Overview
- Ideal income source for the potential purchaser
- Potential to decroft an area for a house site (subject to necessary consents)
The farmland which is registered as a croft extends to 5.73acre (2.32ha) and comprises a single block of south facing land providing a mixture of permanent pasture and rough grazing for livestock. It is fenced for sheep and cattle. It is registered with SGRPID and eligible to receive agricultural support from the LFASS and BPS schemes as well as crofting grants where appropriate.
The successful buyer should be aware that they will need to satisfy the legal requirements of the Crofting Commission, including being ordinarily resident within 32km of the croft and having the intention of actively farming the land.
The croft has not been mapped with the Crofting Register and the transfer of the Tenancy will require this to be done as part of the Assignation process. The croft boundaries are as understood by the current tenant, but may be subject to change if there are objections from neighbouring crofters.
Opportunity as a productive small holding or as additional land to neighbouring farmers.
Notification to the planning authority would be required for an agricultural building, with potential for obtaining consent for a house site (subject to necessary consents).
Planning is currently in place under planning reference number 22/00308/FUL to erect two glamping pods which offers the purchaser the opportunity to create a holiday letting business.
