Summary - Sanquhar, DG4 DG4 6JJ
8 bed 7 bath Detached
Large period property with planning permission for residential conversion and extensive grounds.
Riverside elevated setting with direct River Nith access
Blackaddie House is an impressive 16th-century stone house set above the River Nith with direct riverside access and sweeping, well-maintained gardens. The property has been refurbished since 2021 and has been run successfully as a 4-star hotel; the owners have recently secured planning permission to convert the building back to a single-family residence, offering flexibility for buyers.
The house provides substantial accommodation across multiple floors: eight bedrooms (including an attached one-bedroom annexe), seven bathrooms, several reception rooms, and extensive ancillary space. Many principal rooms enjoy high ceilings, original sash windows and river or garden outlooks. Grounds include a private driveway, parking and turning area, mature trees, lawns, a productive fruit and vegetable garden with greenhouse, and direct river access.
Practical points to note: services include mains electricity and water, oil central heating, partial double glazing, private septic drainage (registered), CCTV and fibre broadband to the premises—however recorded broadband speeds are slow. The EPC rating is G. The location sits in a remoter rural community and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect local services, running costs and resale dynamics.
This property will suit a buyer who needs a large, character home with river frontage and scope for personalisation, or an investor/developer able to manage a conversion and ongoing maintenance. The combination of historical character, recent refurbishment and planning flexibility provides genuine potential, but purchasers should budget for ongoing upkeep and factor the EPC and connectivity limitations into their plans.
