Rarely available to the market, a compact land holding with former farmhouse, outbuildings and land parcel, with the most beautiful views over the surrounding countryside and in such an accessible location. The wider Broadside area has predominantly been occupied by Scottish Water and the nearby historic Water Treatment Works building has now been converted to private residencies. Scottish Water still operate widely in the area and as such there is a sub station directly opposite the rear entrance road to Broadside Farm.
We understand that there are mains water and electricity connections at the site. However, there is no current central heating system in the house. No internal inspection of the house will be granted as the ceilings have collapsed throughout. However, internal images are available through the selling agents.
