Description

Langwell has been inhabited since pre-historic times as is evidenced by a recent discovery of a 4000 year old burial kist and the Hill Fort and Dun which occupies a prominent knoll above the river at the western end of the farm. The easily defended position and good quality farmland were ideally suited to human settlement. Langwell is a productive livestock farm which extends to 186.25 acres (75.37 Ha) The farm has been run as part of a larger hill unit carrying a herd of suckler cows and a hill sheep flock. The productive level silage ground makes up a large proportion of the land for sale extending to about 97.85 acres. In addition there are 61.55 acres of rough grazings/improved hill pasture, with the remaining ground being a mixture of mature conifer woodland, shelter belts and natural regeneration.

There is an extensive range of farm buildings of mainly modern construction which are more than adequate for a farm of this size and a comfortable modernised cottage providing the living accommodation, all within a tranquil and sheltered valley setting.

Location

Strath Oykel in the north of Scotland. The south bank of the River Oykel runs along the boundary of the farm for over a mile. The Oykel is one of several famous salmon rivers which together with the River Cassley form the Kyle of Sutherland, and are joined by the rivers Shin and Carron which flow into the Dornoch firth and on to the North Sea.

From only 10 metres above sea level at Langwell the land rises to the west into wild moorland before reaching the spectacular hills of Assynt on the northwest coast, an area popular with hill walkers. Lochinver and Ullapool can be reached in under an hour. To the east there are the coastal towns of Tain and Dornoch, which provide a wide selection of services and facilities including secondary schooling, supermarkets, banks and hotels. Tain is well known as the home of the Glenmorangie distillery, whilst the historic town of Dornoch has a fine sandy beach and a championship golf course The Royal Dornoch which has been consistently voted one of the top ten courses in the world. Indeed the area is well served with golf courses with further excellent courses at Tain, Golspie, Brora and limited access to the Carnegie Links at Skibo Castle.

For comprehensive services and facilities Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, can be reached in about an hour and a quarter. Local facilities including a tea room, primary school and hotel are available in Rosehall, There is another hotel at nearby Oykel Bridge.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
