Duncan Barrie, who is handling the sale of the farm for Galbraith, said: “East Nethershields is situated in a desirable area of South Lanarkshire near the popular town of Strathaven.

"This is a very productive working dairy farm which will attract a high degree of interest.

"The current owners have made a significant investment in the land over the years to improve the quality of the holding and have invested in the farm buildings which are finished to a high standard.

"Of particular note is the milking parlour which was upgraded two years ago and has a computerised herd management, milk recording and auto-recognition system.

"The purchaser would find it relatively straightforward to continue the existing dairy business, soon after acquiring the property.

“The farmhouse at East Nethershields is in very good condition with tasteful interior design throughout and the large sitting-dining room on the ground floor with feature wood burning stove is an especially attractive area for the whole family.

"The farmhouse benefits from an enclosed private garden and patio area for making the most of summer evenings.

"In addition, there is a separate former stable building which has the potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to revisiting a lapsed planning permission.

“Overall the farm represents an excellent opportunity to continue an established dairy farm without the need for any upfront investment or significant outlay.
