The Land
Dykeside extends to approximately 169.7 acres (68.68 ha) and is a ring-fenced unit lying to the south of the single carriageway public road with a farm track leading directly to the farmhouse and buildings. The land is principally classified as Grade 3.1 by the James Hutton Institute with a small area of Grade 4.1 to the south of the holding near the Monaughty Woodland. The land has a northerly aspect and rises from approximately 50m to 115m above sea level at its highest point. The fields are of a good practical size, mainly accessed via the internal farm track with further excellent field-to-field accesses.
NATURAL CAPITAL
Although primarily a commercial unit, for those with an interest, the farm provides a blank canvas to increase the biodiversity on the holding. Notably, the Monaughty Burn, which runs west to east through the centre of the holding could potentially be enhanced as a wildlife corridor through the creation of water features and ponds combined with hedgerow and tree planting there and elsewhere on the farm.
TUPE – PERMANENT EMPLOYEE
There is one full time farm employee protected by ‘Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations 2006’ working in connection with Lot 1 at Monaughty and Toreduff

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
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
