DESCRIPTION
Dykes Farm includes a principal 4 bed farmhouse located in a
central position within a courtyard setting. The positioning of
the farmhouse within the steading, along with some well thought
out sympathetic tree planting, provides a considerable amount
of privacy to the farmhouse whilst maintaining attractive views
to the north towards Wallace Monument and the Ochil’s beyond.
Torview and Dykes Farm Cottages sit a short distance to the west
of the farmhouse and farm steading provide options for use as
rental properties or for use as other ancillary accommodation. The
farm buildings comprise an excellent range of modern agricultural
buildings which have been used for the existing livestock and arable
operations on the farm, but would also be suited to alternative
non-agricultural use subject to obtaining the necessary planning/
change of use consents.
Lot 1
The farmland extends to about 134.67 Ha (332.77 Acres) in total
and the current owners have carried out a continuous programme
of ditching and drainage works, to ensure the land is farmed to
its maximum potential throughout their ownership. The farming
system was historically based on a mixed arable rotation with the
finishing of around 300 head of cattle at any one time up until 2018,
before a change in farming policy in recent years to focus on more
arable and fodder/hay production. The farmland has benefitted
from a regular application farmyard manure and since the departure
of the cattle, mushroom compost from a neighbouring local farm
has been applied to boost the level of organic matter on the land.
Crop rotations, as detailed in the schedule of the cropping history
contained at the end of this brochure, have been based around
spring cropping with spring oats and spring barley being the
main cereals produced. All the oat straw has been chopped and
ploughed back into the ground, to maintain the organic matter and
aid fertility. The grassland fields have been used to produce grass
for hay, haylage and also silage when cattle were finished on the
