Summary - SUMMERHILL, CASTLE DOUGLAS, BALMACLELLAN DG7 3PW
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Large country holding with versatile outbuildings ideal for family living.
About 2 acres of land with elevated, far-reaching countryside views
A substantial traditional farmhouse set in about 2 acres with far-reaching southwest views, ample living space and genuine smallholding potential. The house offers five bedrooms (four en suite), three reception rooms including a sunroom and living room with a multi-fuel stove, and a large kitchen with a Rayburn at its heart. The converted byre provides three ensuite bedrooms and office space, and the layout could be adapted for multi-generational living subject to consents.
The site includes extensive stone and metal outbuildings, a courtyard, garage/workshop and a large store/boiler house with biomass and oil boilers. Sixteen roof-mounted solar panels already contribute to running costs. The property is best suited to a buyer seeking a rural lifestyle, smallholding or conversion potential—outbuildings offer scope for redevelopment but some roofs and structures appear mixed in condition and will need attention.
Practical points to note: the property has fibre to the cabinet but needs connecting, broadband speeds are currently slow despite excellent mobile signal. Services include mains electric and water with a septic tank; EPC rating is E and council tax is described as expensive. The former agricultural buildings adjacent are in separate ownership and are not included.
This is a countryside package that balances immediate livability with clear opportunities to modernise and adapt. Buyers should allow for upkeep and possible refurbishment to improve energy performance and outbuilding condition, but will be rewarded with privacy, land and flexible accommodation in an attractive location close to New Galloway and Castle Douglas.
