DESCRIPTION
Brickrow is an excellent small farm
which
is owned by the Scottish Government and which was used to provide research and training facilities. The farmhouse is attractively positioned with
a
number of large rooms but requires refurbishment. The adjoining courtyard steading has considerable scope for development for a variety of purposes including residential conversion, subject to planning permission being obtained. The remaining modern farm buildings are extensive and include various portal frame and brick built buildings with extensive areas of hardstanding. These remain suitable for modern farming purposes and have potential for a variety of other rural based uses also subject to planning permission being forthcoming. There is good access to the farm from the B743 Ayr to Mauchline Road.
The farm land extends to about 54.5 acres in total. It is good arable and grazing land in the most part being class 3(1) and 3(2) under the Macaulay Institute Land Classification. It is at a height of 40 metres above sea level. The farm is available as a whole or in separate lots.
