Barnbarroch House is a substantial early Victorian country estate set on a very large plot with mature gardens and approximately 15 acres of adjoining woodland. The main Georgian-style house offers bright, high-ceilinged rooms with original period details, expansive views over the Urr Water and surrounding countryside, and flexible accommodation across three floors — ideal for multi-generational living or a family seeking space and privacy.
The sale includes two detached cottages (The Barn and Old Mill) previously run as holiday lets, offering immediate income potential or comfortable separate accommodation for relatives or staff. Grounds include a private gated driveway, a larch-clad double garage with electric doors, additional outbuildings, a tennis court, pond, fruit trees and a variety of stores and workshops — useful for hobbies, vehicles or conversion to home-working space.
Practical considerations are clear: the main house has an EPC rating of F and uses oil-fired central heating with private septic drainage, so buyers should expect energy upgrades and ongoing maintenance costs. Council Tax is high (band G), the property sits in a remote agricultural community with limited local services, and the estate has previously been managed as holiday lets which may require reinstatement and marketing if that income is to continue.
This property will suit purchasers seeking a country estate with strong provenance, flexibility and scope for improvement — families, buyers wanting rental potential from the cottages, or those planning refurbishment to improve energy performance and modern comfort. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, the views and the potential of both the main house and ancillary buildings.
