Description
Smithfield is located within 1 mile east of the land at Torcross and is contiguous with the village of Tarbolton. There is a disused steel portal frame cubicle shed with brickwork walls, concrete slatted floors and a corrugated roof. Adjoining there is a derelict parlour. A slurry pit sits to the east and a silage pit is located to the south.
Within this lot and adjacent to the farm building is a modern steel portal frame shed which is to be dismantled and removed, as shown hatched red on the sale plan.
In addition, to the west of this lot, and within the village of Tarbolton on Burns Road, there is a derelict stone and slate building which is included within the category C listing of the adjoining Old Townhouse. The building is also within a Conservation Area.
Land at Smithfield - The land within Lot 4 extends to 28 acres comprising five fields including 13 acres of arable and 12 acres of pasture. The land is currently down to grass and utilised for livestock grazing or haylage production. The land lies between 72 and 100 metres above sea level and is classified as predominantly Grade 3(2). The land may have potential for long-term future development due to the proximity of the village of Tarbolton.
Smithfield benefits from access from the B744, and a well maintained farm track.
Location
Located within an accessible and popular area of South Ayrshire, Sandyford Farm sits adjacent to the A77 with views towards the Isle of Arran and the Mull of Kintyre beyond. The local area is renowned for its productive farmland due to the land quality and the mild wet climate, creating the perfect combination for grass based farming.
The village of Monkton is about 3 miles west where there is a primary school, fuel station with Marks and Spencer food hall and post office. Prestwick (4 miles) is the closest town, where there is a greater choice of shops, supermarkets and professional services, as well as secondary schooling.
The county town of Ayr adjoins Prestwick to the south and is well known for its first class racecourse and the long established livestock market. There is a wide range of local facilities including shops, supermarkets, leisure and professional services as well as nursery and primary and secondary schooling (including Wellington independent school). The racecourse is home of the Scottish Grand National meeting held annually in the spring. Ayr United, formed in 1910, is the local football team and there are both rugby and cricket clubs in the town. Ayr also has a swimming pool, ten pin bowling, an ice rink and a choice of golf courses as well as river and park walks. The Scottish Rural University College (SRUC) has a campus in the town and the nearest livestock market, Craig Wilson Ltd sits on the outskirts.
Travel connections in the area are good with excellent access to the A77, linking the ferry port at Cairnryan (near Stranraer) to Glasgow. Within Ayr there is a railway station providing regular services north to Glasgow as well as services to the south, terminating in Stranraer. Prestwick Airport is a short drive from the farm (5 miles) and Glasgow International Airport is 38 miles to the north and offers a wide range of domestic, European and international flights.
South Ayrshire is a picturesque mixture of rolling countryside, extensive woodlands and rugged coastline, making for an especially attractive setting and providing a wealth of opportunities for outdoor pursuits including golf (several courses around Ayr, Prestwick and Troon), shooting, cycling, hill walking and water sports.
