The farm is offered as a whole and comprises a three bedroom stone built farmhouse and a range of both traditional and modern buildings, mainly situated around a covered courtyard, together with 126.61 acres (51.24 hectares) of good productive grazing and amenity land in a ringed fence.

The panoramic views from West Mains Farmhouse to the border River Liddel and over to the Scottish countryside are quite overwhelming.
At the rear of the farmhouse is again a completely enclosed stone walled area with decorative irons bars and stone turreted gate stoops, which may be used as a vegetable garden or orchard.
The Farm Buildings
The farm buildings comprise a mixture of modern and traditional buildings.
The traditional buildings are mainly located around a courtyard complex with a modern portal frame building covering the courtyard area.
These buildings provide good accommodation for beef and sheep enterprises. There is also the potential to utilise these buildings for equestrian or other purposes subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
The farmhouse and farm buildings are fully serviced by the private continuous water supply for which there is no water charge.
