SITUATION
East Tarbrax Farm is situated in an accessible location just to the south
west of Shotts within rural North Lanarkshire, approximately 23 miles
south east of Glasgow. The farm is split into a number of blocks by the
B717 and the A71 public roads which link Shotts to the nearby village
of Allanton.
The village of Allanton has a nursery and primary school, with
secondary schooling being available at Calderhead High School
in Shotts or at nearby Wishaw Academy. The towns of Shotts and
Wishaw have a range of day to day services including local shops,
bars and restaurants with nearby Hamilton providing a wider range of
shopping and facilities. The local area has a number of sports facilities,
including golf courses, sports centres, swimming pools and gyms.
The train stations of Shotts and Hartwood are about 1 mile north east
and 2 miles to the north west respectively from the farm and sit on the
Edinburgh to Glasgow central railway line offering regular train service
in both directions. Junction 5 of the M8 motorway which is 3 miles
to the north east provides excellent transport links to Glasgow and
Edinburgh and beyond. The adjoining A71 provides good road links
eastwards towards Edinburgh with the M74 about a 10-15 minutes
drive.
The farm is within easy commuting distance of the cities of Glasgow
(23 miles) and Edinburgh (30 miles), both with world renowned
shopping outlets, businesses and entertainment facilities. Edinburgh
and Glasgow Airports are easily accessible from the M8 being 24
miles and 30 miles respectively and offering regular domestic and
international destinations.
Agriculturally the surrounding area of North Lanarkshire provides
an accessible location with a combination of productive pasture
and arable ground with rolling hills in the distance. The area is well
served by a wide variety of merchants and suppliers, and there are
a number of agricultural contactors who can provide additional
farming resources as required. The farm lies approximately 17 miles
north of Lanark Auction market and within 35 miles of both Stirling
Auction Marts providing a choice of three outlets for store and finished
livestock produced on the holding. Carlisle Mart is just over an hour
and a half’s drive via the M74 and is an excellent outlet for dairy and
breeding stock.

FARMING HISTORY East Tarbrax has been farmed by the same family for a total of 107 years with the current sellers being the third generation to milk cows on the holding. The current farming system is centred on 150 cows which are milked by 3 Merlin robotic milkers which were installed in 2015, and serviced by a steading complex housing around 430 head of cattle. The farm steading has been substantially modernised and extended over the years, with the land benefitting from an ongoing programme of drainage and reseeding and regular applications of farmyard manure and slurry generated from the dairy and beef herds on the farm. DESCRIPTION East Tarbrax Farm is a renowned dairy farm extending to approximately 211.79 Ha (523.33 Acres) located in an accessible location just to the south west of Shotts in North Lanarkshire. The farm has an attractive two storey traditional stone-built farmhouse which is located centrally within the holding with a private enclosed garden which includes several mature trees providing shelter and amenity, and there is a further detached cottage located just to the east of the farmhouse. The holding benefits from an excellent range of modern and traditional farm buildings situated adjacent to the farmhouse which are readily accessible from the public road or the farm track which connects to the A71 to the south. The farmland is situated in four large blocks and access is given to all of the fields from a network of farm tracks or direct from the public road which splits the farmland. The majority of the arable land is located to the north of the holding adjacent to the farmhouse and steading area. The remainder of the holding to the south of the A71 road is split between productive silage ground and pasture and with several areas of amenity woodland. The farmland has been classified as Grade 4.1 and Grade 4.2 by The James Hutton Institute. METHOD OF SALE East Tarbrax is offered for sale as whole or in two lots.

FARMLAND
The farmland at East Tarbrax extends to approximately 211.79 Ha
(523.28 Acres) and is largely classified by The James Hutton Institute
as Grade 4.1 and Grade 4.2. The majority of the arable land is located to
the north of the holding adjacent to the farmhouse and steading and
is currently down to a mix of pasture with 13.08 Ha (32.32 Acres) in
whole crop. The remainder of the farmland to the south of the holding
forms a mixture of productive silage and pasture land benefitting from
excellent access on to the A71.
There is an area of young amenity woodland along the Calder Water
and with several more mature shelter belts located throughout the
holding providing shelter. The arable land can be worked to a good
depth and a continuous programme of ditching and drainage works
have ensured that the all of farmland is utilised to its maximum
potential. The fields are well laid out and of a generous size, easily
accommodating modern machinery, and readily accessible directly
either off the main public road or via an excellent network of internal
tracks.
The farmland to the north of the holding lies immediately adjacent to
the settlement boundary of Shotts. Following the recently completed
electrification of the railway line, improved parking facilities and railway
station upgrades, the adjacent farmland at East Tarbrax presents an
excellent opportunity for the wider expansion of the town, subject
to obtaining necessary planning consents and promotion within the
area’s local development plan.
