Built in stone with striking bay windows and high ceilings, Bearlochan House is a substantial five-bedroom family home set in mature, private garden grounds. The house blends original Victorian detail — ornate cornicing, wooden staircases and bay-fronted reception rooms — with a large, contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining area and useful utility and laundry facilities. The layout includes generous reception spaces, a mezzanine wing and a ground-floor shower room, suiting multi-generation family life or home working.
Externally the plot delivers genuine rural advantages: a sweeping gravel driveway, detached garage with large artist’s studio, extensive lawned gardens, a pond and adjoining grazing land. The outbuilding offers clear conversion or equestrian potential (stables/feed room) subject to consents and the studio provides a bright, flexible workspace. The property is freehold, gas‑heated and double glazed, with excellent mobile signal for connectivity.
Buyers should note some practical limitations. Broadband speeds are reported slow, which may affect heavy remote-working households despite excellent mobile signal. The wider area is an ageing rural community with higher deprivation indicators; services beyond the village are limited, though Kirkcudbright (c.3 miles) provides more amenities. While much has been modernised, parts of the house and outbuildings retain older fabric and will benefit from ongoing maintenance or sympathetic upgrading to suit a buyer’s requirements.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful country house for a family seeking room, privacy and flexible outbuilding space in a rural setting, with clear potential for tailored improvements and small-scale agricultural or creative uses.
