LOCATION The land lies about 5 miles northeast of the village of Canonbie, about 5.5 miles south of Newcastleton, and about 9 miles southeast of Langholm, with the City of Carlisle at Junction 44 on the M6 Motorway lying about 17 miles to the southwest. The land has frontage onto a minor public road. For directions to the property please see the attached Location Plan.

DESCRIPTION The property is shown edged in red on the Sale Plan and extends to some 41.87 hectares (103.46 acres). It is believed that the Liddel Water (excluding its south bank) lies within the southern boundary of the property, but this is to be confirmed. Part of the Muir Burn runs inside the property’s eastern boundary. Whilst these areas of water are included in the property, they are excluded from any area measurements used in these Particulars. The property is bounded by the B6357 public road immediately to the north.

The property includes about 30.37 hectares (75.04 acres) of permanent grass and rough grazing, appearing as fields 1 – 10 on the attached Sale Plan. The bulk of the rough grazing is in field 2, but there are some smaller areas scattered in parts of some of the remaining parcels, which are otherwise down to permanent grass.

All of the agricultural land (except for Field 5) is served by water troughs which are connected to the main water supply.

There are also about 11.14 hectares (27.53 acres) of woodland/riverbank included in the property. Of this, there is a small parcel of mature woodland situated to the west of Bankhead Farmhouse, measuring around 0.21 hectare (0.52 acre). The remaining 10.93 hectares (27.01 acres) of woodland/banking lies mainly at the east and south of the property, alongside the Muir Burn and the Liddel Water. The woodland includes a variety of tree species of different ages, adding to the sporting and amenity value of the property.

The property includes a track running from the B6357 public road to Bankhead Farmhouse, together with an adjacent parking/ hardstanding area, which serves the agricultural land.

Bankhead Cottage and Bankhead Farmhouse and steading, and any associated land, are not included in the sale. These excluded properties are shown coloured in yellow and edged in red for identification purposes on the attached Sale Plan.

PHOTOGRAPHS For avoidance of doubt, it is pointed out that photographs included in these Particulars have been taken at different seasons of the year, some time prior to the preparation of this brochure.
