Hoddom Schoolhouse is a spacious, four-bedroom detached home set in open Dumfriesshire countryside, presented with a careful mix of period character and recent updates. The generous living space includes two reception rooms with multi-fuel stoves and a bespoke kitchen that sits at the heart of the house. Large gardens, mature trees and a gated driveway provide privacy and substantial outdoor scope for family life or landscaping projects.
A self-contained annexe with its own entrance and wet room offers genuine flexibility for multigenerational living, a home office or holiday-let potential. Parking for multiple vehicles and two powered timber stores add practical value for rural living. The property benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, useful for remote working.
Honest drawbacks: the property has an EPC rating of E and walls are the original granite/whinstone construction with assumed no cavity insulation, which may affect running costs and future retrofit decisions. Heating is by boiler and radiators with wood logs as a main fuel option and an external oil tank on site. Council Tax is above average and the wider area is classified as very deprived, factors that may influence services and resale dynamics.
This home is best suited to buyers seeking a characterful rural residence with flexible living arrangements and scope for further energy improvements. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the panoramic views, room proportions and annexe independence in person.
