Directions

From the M90 motorway at junction 3 (Halbeath) head into Dunfermline (A907). Take second left at the first roundabout and third left at the next roundabout. Proceed over the level crossing and up to Kingseat. Turn right onto the B912 and after a couple of hundred yards, within Kingseat, turn first right along the unclassified Cuddyhouse Road and the land is on the left just after the wind turbine and the bridge over the motorway. Lot 8 is clad with trees opposite the Dalbeath Farm Road end. Lot 7 lies either side of the telecom tower just before west of Cowdenbeath.
Description
The land for sale is Lot 7 (13.95 ac) of premium grazing land & Lot 8 (1.86 ac) of woodland totalling 15.81 acres. The land sits just north of the Cuddyhouse Road and west of Cowdenbeath. Lot 7 is classified as grade 3(1) land by the Macaulay Institute. It has been down to pasture for many years but is arable. It has attractive views to the south and north. Its oddly shaped as the purchaser of Lot 6 wanted specific area of land. Please note the communications mast is excluded from the sale. The lands can be sold as a whole or in lots.
Date of entry
Ideally within 4 weeks.
Fencing
The purchaser of Lot 7 will pay 50% of the cost of fencing off the north west and westerly boundaries with Lot 6,5,4,3,2 & 1. Either 3 inch stobs with 7 wires (with no rylock) or post + rail fencing. The purchaser will pay 100% cost of a new fence eastwards from E to I in lot 7 if they want to take advantage of the right of access in purple. The road side and the purchaser of Lot 8 will have to pay 50% of the cost of fencing of the west end with Lot 5 and a share of many other fencing needed. Future maintenance will be on a 50/50 basis.
Access road
Lot 7 can be accessed off access E or off a new access. One at the East end of Lot 7 inside the 30mph sign would likely be feasible at point Z.
Existing access E will be used into the future. This 4m wide track will be the main access for lots 5,6+8 into their lands. The purchasers of lots 6,7 +8 will only have to contribute to the cost of the road installation for the length they are going to use.
The owners of Lot 7 will have a right of access east of point E but will have to install a road e-i and fence it on the northside with the same specification as above and pay the owner of Lot 6 £4000/ac for the right of access area if they want to use the purple access e-1. The owners of lot 8 will have a right of access into lot 8 via e-F1 but will have to share the cost of installation and maintenance on a user basis.
Visibility Splays East and West of points K Q south of H and E.
A) Bellmouth E
It is proposed that the bellmouth at E be widened the full width of the fenced off area and that the visibility splays are improved by moving the fences back to create visibility splays of 4m x 210m to the west of junction E e.G. Move the fence back 4m to the west of junction E all the way to the proposed new junction H2 and that the vegetation is cut regularly at the joint expense of the future owners of Lots 4,5,6+8 as per usage. A similar requirement to share the cost of cutting vegetation east of E is to be shared as per user.
If fences need to be moved back a cost of £2000/acre will have to be paid to the owners of lots 5,6+7 if additional lands are sterilised. A 6 metre wide road east of Access E will be sterilised already (purple on plan) so no sterilisation will be relevant over this 6m wide area.
Water supply
It is preferred that the purchaser of Lot 7 install a new water supply at the the east end themselves. Lot 8 can tap into the existing water supply from Dalbeath Farm. The private pipe extends across Dalbeath Farm as per the disposition plan p-o-n-m-l-e and enters Meiklebeath Farm at Point E. The land register No 5 attached confirms “the servitude right to use, maintain, repair and renew said water pipe” if there are any water troughs. The burden details on the annexed Land Register Title FFE45831.
Just south of point F1 on the plan (within the wooded area of Lot 5) there is a toby which allows it to be turned off.
If all eight lots are to use this supply it is suggested that a new 350mm pipe be installed. The cost of installing this would have to be agreed between those that wish to tap into it.
The cost of installing and maintaining this upgraded pipe will be shared as per length user. Each person with a trough will be obliged to install a meter and maintenance will be as per user.
Electricity supply
The cost of connecting into the mains electricity supply has not been established yet but it is thought that the box west of point E or the transformer at the telecom mast two hundred yards further east (point Y in 6T7) which will provide a source of mains electricity for Lots 7 & 8.
Lots 1 to 8 will therefore pay a share of the electric connection and new buried electric line if they wish to tap into the main.
Interested parties
There is a good market for smallish blocks of equestrian land in the area. These two lots fit into that category. Interested parties could offer for parts of lots as well. Just look at the land and arrange a meeting with Rod McCrae of McCrae & McCrae to discuss further. If it’s smaller than the lots shown the sellers legal costs may have to be paid by the purchaser.
Possible planning consent for stables/ kennels+ mobile home/ house
If a purchaser bought the whole 15.81 acres, prospective purchasers would stand a chance of securing planning consent for a house if they were to build 20 stables and an outdoor arena and have a caravan on the lands for two years, while running a viable equestrian or kennel business. Several planning consents have been given for this ‘housing in the countryside’ in the area. Recently the local council planners have not imposed a long term business occupancy condition requiring the business to continue after the house is built due to eec Law.
Subsidies
No single farm payment or entitlements are included in the sale.
The sellers will pay for gps measuring to peg out the boundaries. The offerors purchase subject to securing planning consent in principle.
