Set on the edge of Wanlockhead with sweeping Lowther Hills views, this stone-built 3-bedroom home offers classic character and generous outdoor space. Two public rooms both feature wood-burning stoves, creating warm, cosy living and dining areas. A practical kitchen leads to a utility/boot room with direct garden access. The ground floor includes a double bedroom and the family bathroom; two further double bedrooms occupy the upper level, one with a large walk-in dressing room that could be converted into an en-suite.
The large enclosed garden and hidden lawn meadow are private and mature, ideal for gardening, safe play, or quiet outdoor relaxation. Off-street parking at the front provides easy vehicular access. The property’s traditional layout, fireplaces and period details will suit buyers seeking character and scope to personalise rather than a brand-new finish.
Practical considerations: there is a single family bathroom only, internet speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. The property sits in a remoter, very deprived area, so local services are limited compared with urban locations. Commuting to major cities is possible but involves longer drives.
This house will appeal to buyers wanting a peaceful rural base with character and outdoor space, and to those prepared to update interiors or add a second bathroom/ensuite for greater modern convenience. Its combination of views, garden and parking make it a rare find in this scenic part of Scotland.
