SITUATION
Upper Anguston is situated in the county of Aberdeenshire, just 3 miles north-west of Peterculter. The city of Aberdeen lies 12 miles east of the subjects. The land benefits from direct access onto a series of private and public roads.
Peterculter provides a range of amenities including a local community campus, a range of small supermarkets and restaurants. Aberdeenshire is an area well recognised for its productive mixed farmland, with the unit offering a typical rotation of temporary grassland and arable cropping.
DESCRIPTION
The land sits in three blocks with the land at Benthoul and Baads sitting slightly to the north of the centre of the unit, known as Upper Anguston. The land is divided into 23 enclosures extending to 311.64 acres (126.11 hectares). According to the James Hutton Institute the land is predominantly Grade 3.2 with areas of Grade 4.1 & 4.2 also found. The majority of the land would therefore support a moderate range of crops producing good yields, however it is likely grass will commonly feature within the crop rotation. We have examined the James Hutton Soil maps which shows the land comprises freely drained Humus-iron Podzols across the holding.
The fields are largely uniform in shape allowing for efficient arable operations and are bounded by stone dyking and rylock fencing throughout the holding. The land benefits from a good internal network of access tracks further supporting by access from the nearby public road. The land at Baads benefits from a network of existing hedgerows providing an excellent biodiversity opportunity. The holding benefits from two rights of ways at Baads as indicated on the sale plan.
There is one agricultural building at Upper Anguston, included in Lot 1, comprising a steel portal framed grain shed, with it’s dimensions being approximately 25 metres x 20 metres. The shed comprises a steel frame with box profile cladding and grain panel walls with a concreted floor. The lockable shed offers a good satellite storage space for grain.
