Nearby Dalrymple provides an abundance of day to day services, with excellent primary schooling in close proximity to the property.

North Ayrshire is well known for many of its golf courses including the world renowned Turnberry and Royal Troon Courses. Ayr is only 6 miles distant and is the home of the Scottish Grand National. The area provides an abundance of outdoor pursuits and is known for its spectacular coastline and beaches providing a vast range of opportunities to include wonderful walks, game, sea fishing, shooting, sailing and cycling. DESCRIPTION Laurieston Farm was historically run as a dairy unit housing 105 dairy cows and followers until 2008 when the farming enterprise moved to beef and sheep.
