CLOSING DATE: 12 noon Friday 29th August. Burnfoot Cottage is a distinctive two-bedroom detached home set in around 5.68 acres of paddocks, garden and woodland on the edge of Carsphairn. The property combines comfortable, characterful living spaces with substantial outbuildings and grazing land, suitable for small-scale livestock or equestrian use.
Inside, bespoke hand-carved doors, shelving and fittings give the house a strong artisan character. The dining kitchen, sitting room and vaulted sunroom provide generous, light-filled living space; the sunroom’s large windows and Velux vents make it particularly pleasant. Heating is by air source heat pump and the system currently benefits from a domestic RHI payment with approximately two years remaining.
The grounds are a major asset: species-rich paddocks (4.83 acres), vegetable plots, polytunnels, mature trees and a log cabin with a turfed roof and wood burner. Practical outbuildings include two garages, two stables, workshops, sheds and a large woodstore, supporting a variety of rural hobbies or smallholding activity.
Practical considerations: the property sits in a remote rural community with very slow broadband and limited local services (primary schooling and wider amenities require travel to Dalry or Castle Douglas). The community shop is currently not open. The cottage offers scope for adaptation (utility room could convert to a third bedroom subject to consents) but any major changes should account for services and access. Overall, this is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking an established country home with substantial land and outbuildings in a tranquil location.
