Situation
The Old School Dalleagles has an accessible situation in rural East Ayrshire. The property is about 2.5 miles south west of the East Ayrshire town of New Cumnock where there is primary and secondary schooling, as well as a mainline railway station, health centre, post office and convenience stores.

The Old School Dalleagles, while rural, is in a very accessible location with the A76, A70 and the M74 all providing good road access to Ayrshire and the motorway corridors that lead to central Scotland and the south.

Ayr (21 Miles) and Dumfries in the southwest (36 miles) are both readily accessible by road and both offer a fuller range of local and professional services amenities including education, retail, entertainment and transport links.

In central Scotland, one is never too far from a golf course, there are local parkland courses and Ayrshire is renowned worldwide for golf with regular open championship venues including Royal Troon, Turnberry and the highly regarded Prestwick all within easy reach.

Along with farming, equestrian pursuits and golf, the county is known for its excellent fishing and field sports. There are stocked trout fisheries nearby and salmon fishing on the rivers Nith, Ayr, Doon, Girvan and Stinchar, all of which are within a short drive. Game shooting is also popular within the area, and there are a number of commercially run rough and low ground shoots in the district. For those keen on a punt, Ayr Racecourse, home of the Scottish Grand National, is 21 miles distant.

The Firth of Clyde offers marine and chandlery services together with highly scenic coastal sailing.
