Situation
Thorneyside Farm is situated in the rolling North Ayrshire countryside, approximately 2.1 miles north of Dalry, a small town in the Garnock Valley. Dalry provides a range of small supermarkets, medical practice, nursery and primary schooling and a train station, providing a regular service to Glasgow Central. The farm is within the catchment area for Glengarnock Community Campus (secondary schooling) and there are various private schools in Glasgow and Kilmacolm.

Glasgow is approximately 26 miles away by road and provides all the amenities expected from a major city including renowned retail and cultural experiences including the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, Riverside Museum, Glasgow Science Centre, Royal Concert Hall, various theatres, the Burrell Collection (within Pollok Country Park) and a variety of other attractions, as well as major transport links north and south and Glasgow International Airport. The surrounding areas offer an array of sporting and recreational facilities. The Firth of Clyde offers some of Scotland's most testing sailing waters with marinas at Largs, Ardrossan, Inverkip and further down the coast at Troon. Ayrshire is also famous for its Championship Golf Courses including Turnberry, Prestwick and Royal Troon – all of which have hosted The Open Championship. The property benefits from fantastic uninterrupted views over the surrounding rolling countryside.
