Summary - THE OLD RED LION, CASTLE DOUGLAS, RINGFORD DG7 2AL
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Period family home with established commercial space and development potential.
Five double/single bedrooms across two floors, flexible room layout
A rare conversion of a c.1830 schoolhouse, this substantial five-bedroom detached home pairs generous family living with established commercial space. The heart of the house is an impressive, light-filled open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with bespoke units, high windows and wooden floors — ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. South‑west facing gardens, a kitchen garden and gravelled parking create private outdoor space and easy access from the extensive car park.
Adjoined to the house is the former school room, fitted as a 60-cover restaurant with service area, toilets and commercial washing facilities. That space, together with multiple outbuildings and a large brick car-park outbuilding, offers practical income or business potential — from retail, leisure or workshop use to conversion proposals (any change of use or development will require the necessary consents).
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, off-street parking, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for home-working or a small business. The property comes with mature, productive garden areas and a flexible room layout across two floors (c.17 rooms in total), useful for mixed family and business arrangements.
Buyers should note material considerations: the Home Report valuation relates to the residential element only; commercial/restaurant contents are available by separate negotiation. The location sits within a very deprived area classification and council tax is above average. Any future commercial change, refurbishment or development will need planning and regulatory checks. Overall, this is a distinctive period property offering family comfort alongside tangible business and development opportunities.
