Set on 1.7 acres in remote Eskdalemuir, Castlehill is a single-storey, mid-19th-century stone cottage with period character and open countryside views. The house has three bedrooms, a modern bathroom, a living room with fireplace and a sunroom that overlooks fields and the River Esk. Garage, stable, workshop and a paddock add useful agricultural and storage capacity.
A clear commercial advantage is existing planning consent for three holiday camping pods, offering immediate short‑stay income potential for a small rural enterprise. The property is freehold, has ample parking and practical outbuildings that support equestrian or smallholding use. At about 1,270 sq ft, internal space is generous for a traditional cottage layout.
Important practical points: the house sits in a very remote, very deprived area with average mobile signal and very slow broadband, so it suits purchasers who accept limited digital connectivity. There is only one bathroom and some ceilings are low; buyers should inspect for any further maintenance or modernisation needs despite earlier upgrades. Council tax is above average for the area.
Castlehill will appeal to buyers seeking a rural lifestyle with development upside — families or small-business owners wanting on‑site accommodation plus holiday-let income. It is most suitable for those comfortable with long drives to services (around 12 miles to Langholm, 14 miles to Lockerbie) and who value landscape, privacy and space over immediate connectivity.
