Kirkside House is a substantial former manse set in about two acres with riparian frontage to the River Isla. The Georgian villa combines generous period rooms, high ceilings and restored shutters with practical modern living: a large farmhouse-style dining kitchen with Aga, two reception rooms with wood-burning stoves, utility and laundry rooms, home-working spaces and six bedrooms including three ensuites.
The plot is a standout feature — south-facing lawns, mature trees, large patio and direct river access create exceptional outdoor space for family life, fishing and country pursuits. Off-street parking and outbuildings (timber shed, wood store) add useful storage. The property is warmed by a 65kW biomass system installed in the former garage and benefits from double glazing throughout.
Important practical points: the biomass boiler is tied to a commercial contract running 20 years from installation in 2015 (contractual obligations continue until 2035) and is located in the former garage which reduces covered parking. Broadband is reported as very slow locally despite claims of high-speed availability. The house sits in a remote, rural area with shops and services typically a 20–30 minute drive away and council tax is high (Band G).
This house suits buyers seeking a large family home or rural lifestyle base — particularly those who value outdoor space, period character and self-sufficient heating — and who accept the ongoing biomass contract, remote location and the need to manage slower broadband speeds.
