Lot 1 offers a fantastic lifestyle or equestrian opportunity for an incoming purchaser with the inclusion of a most attractive traditional home, traditional steading range and land, all extending to approximately 13.14 acres in total.

The traditional home, Wester Wards, is an idyllic property built of stone under a slate roof and sits most conveniently for both the land and traditional buildings.

The accommodation at Wester Wards is split over two levels with the ground floor comprising a most welcoming entry vestibule which leads to the downstairs hallway. From here there is access to the downstairs bedroom and the downstairs living room which is complete with stove. The rear hall gives access to the kitchen, utility room and family bathroom. Stairs lead to the upstairs hall where there are two good sized bedrooms with views over the surrounding countryside. Situated close to the house lies the traditional range of agricultural buildings of stone and block construction under slate and corrugate roofing. These provide the useful opportunity for stabling, storage, workshops or even development subject to the necessary consents being obtained.

The land included with Lot 1 sits to the rear of the house and is well suited to equestrian purposes. The land is graded generally as 3.1 on the James Hutton Classification Maps for Agriculture.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Areas of Lots 1 and 2 are included in the preferred Dualling route for the A96. It should be noted that this scheme is not confirmed and is still currently subject to review. Further details are available directly from Transport Scotland and we recommend any perspective purchasers undertake their own due diligence in this regard.

The land and steading are currently tenanted, and vacant possession will not be available until May 2026. Earlier access to Lot 1 might be negotiable.

For the avoidance of doubt, there are no basic payment entitlements included within the sale.

The seller, Moray Estates, will reserve a right of pre-emption over the property.

The stables and field shelters are not included within the sale.

VIEWING
