Wanted: Urgent help with my smallholding pipe dream…

A budget of £185k

1-2 bed place with a big garden or partial/small acreage to keep chickens, have (make) a little pond and pipe dream keeping pigs.

West Country, Welsh borders, Cumbria, Northumberland. Northumbria or maybe Scotland if I understood their process better.

good dog walking and riding country, away from smallboat hotspots and preferably nr a forest or in a ‘treey’ landscape,

        Hi Sarah,

        Thank you for your enquiry – let’s see if we can help you.

        The geography you’ve chosen will certainly give us the best chance to achieve the goal within budget.

        Here’s some search results from our database (please bear in mind that the majority of smallholdings found here are in Scotland – but not all are crofts):

        And now for a couple of highlights:

        Feedback

        As said, most of our finds within the budget bracket you requested are in Scotland. That being said, we occasionally discover some from England and Wales too – but they tend to require renovation or modernisation. Also, they are often for sale by auction.

        For now, that’s all we’ve got (as shared above), but we’re still searching on your behalf and will report back should we spot a match.

        In the meantime, here is some beginner’s advice from the Registers of Scotland about croftland registration:

        Register a Croft – RoS Knowledge Base

        …this should help fill in the gaps of understanding if you have any – plus they’ve left a phone number in the footer if you have questions to ask.

        Let us know how you’re getting on….

          … actually, there is one more property we know of that we haven’t included:

          It’s listed by the sellers Malcolm and June 07766 765230 – admittedly, it’s coastal and not so many trees around as per your request – but 6.5 acres of ‘decrofted’ land is a head start on the registration speed bump.
