SITUATION
Bogangreen Farm is beautifully situated close to the Berwickshire Coast in the Scottish Borders, in an area noted both for the quality of its land and its stunning scenery.
The farm lies close to the popular village of Coldingham in an accessible location, immediately adjoining the A1107 Coldingham to Cockburnspath road as well as being served by two other minor public roads. The A1 trunk road is approximately 3 miles to the west and there are railway stations on the main London to Edinburgh East Coast line at Reston (4 miles) and Berwick upon Tweed (12 miles). International airports are at Newcastle (77 miles) and Edinburgh (54 miles).
Coldingham is a renowned tourist destination with good local services including two public houses, a Post Office, a butchers, a thriving village shop and primary school. A broader range of facilities are available in Eyemouth and Berwick upon Tweed. The immediate area has a good choice of schools for all age groups including Coldingham Primary School and Eyemouth High School together with private schools at Longridge Towers near Berwick and Belhaven in Dunbar. The farming community is well served by numerous local grain and machinery merchants and there are livestock markets at Wooler (31 miles) and St Boswells (40 miles).
The local area is remarkably unspoilt and provides an excellent quality of life. This is an area of low population and contrasting landscapes, ranging from the upland expanses of the Lammermuirs through to the fertile farmland of East Berwickshire running down to the rugged cliffs and golden sands of the east coast. The Scottish Borders are renowned for the quality of the recreational, amenity and sporting opportunities on offer which include several excellent local golf courses with Scotland's Golf Coast also within easy reach. There is excellent riding and walking throughout the area and national hunt racing at both Kelso and Musselburgh.
The stunning east coast lies approximately 1 mile away, with award winning beaches, rocky coves and steep cliffs providing bird watching, sea fishing, surfing at Coldingham and exceptional scuba diving at St Abbs. Edinburgh is readily accessible and is a vibrant centre of art and culture and home to numerous quality restaurants, cinemas, theatres and art galleries as well as hosting the famous Fringe Festival.
DIRECTIONS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Bogangreen Farm is a compact, well shaped, mixed arable and livestock farm in a lovely situation close to the Berwickshire coast. The holding has been sympathetically farmed on a traditional mixed system and as a consequence soil fertility is thought to be high.
The land is all classified as grade 3.1 under the Macaulay Land Capability Plan and lies between the 95 and 160 metre contours with an average annual rainfall of approximately 680 mm. The majority of fields are large and well shaped with minimal waste. Virtually the entire working acreage has been ploughed at some point and used in an arable rotation.
Soils generally constitute easily worked, deep, fertile medium clay loams of the Kedslie Series with an area of free draining Linhope series to the east side of the farm. The soils are best suited to a mixed farming system and are capable of growing a variety of combinable crops and vegetables. The land is well fenced and there are either mains water troughs or natural water supplies to most fields and the land is clean with no significant weed ingress. The majority of fields can be accessed either directly from the adjoining public roads or via internal hard tracks.
Bogangreen Farm has been farmed on a traditional system and the land is presented in excellent heart. Approximately 49 acres of malting spring barley are grown each year with the remainder of the land laid down to grass which has been let for seasonal grazing purposes in recent years. The farm is registered with SQC.
A useful modern steading includes various general purpose sheds suitable for grain storage or livestock accommodation along with a grain dryer and handling system.
