Refurbished five-bed Georgian with 5.5 acres, barns and far-reaching countryside views.
Category B listed Georgian house, fully refurbished to a high standard
Set in an elevated position with sweeping Dumfriesshire views, The Broats is a fully refurbished Category B Georgian house that combines period character with contemporary finish. The five-bedroom layout (three bathrooms) is arranged across generous rooms and high ceilings; recent works include new timber sash windows, a bespoke kitchen with island and an oil-fired AGA, plus quality bathrooms including a standout master en-suite. The house has oil central heating, multi-fuel stoves, and an intruder alarm fitted.
The c.5.53 acres of grounds are a major selling point: landscaped gardens, a patio for outdoor dining, private amenity woodland and a large driveway. Ancillary buildings include an attached plaster-boarded barn (boarded out and ready for conversion to an office or similar) and a large, fully insulated three-bay building with versatile potential, subject to necessary consents and planning. The plot size and outbuildings suit hobby farmers, equestrian use, a small rural business or buyers seeking substantial outdoor space.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the house is Category B listed, which will affect permitted works and maintenance; it is served by a private septic tank; heating is oil-fired; the EPC is E; and council tax is described as quite expensive (Band G). The location is rural and classed as a remoter community—excellent privacy and country living but several miles from Annan’s amenities and services.
This property will suit families or buyers seeking an elegant, characterful country home with generous land and outbuildings, plus those wanting flexible ancillary space. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale of rooms, quality of the refurbishment and the outlook across open countryside.
