Description
An attractive smallholding with period farmhouse in a beautiful upland setting near to Langholm
Description
Formerly part of the Buccleuch Estate and historically a much larger hill farm, Cleuchfoot has an attractive six bedroom, B Listed farmhouse together with a courtyard of well-maintained traditional farm buildings and two further modern farm buildings.
The farmhouse is a substantial detached family home perched on the hill with south easterly and westerly facing aspects overlooking surrounding countryside, the steading and Logan Water. The property is now in need of modernisation throughout but offers the prospective purchaser the opportunity to create a bespoke home combining the amenities of modern living with retained period features.
Ground Floor: kitchen, dining room, sitting room, family room, two offices, utility and WC. Second Floor: 6 well proportioned double bedrooms, family bathroom and WC. Third Floor: two storage rooms.
At the front of the property there is ample car parking space and an area laid to lawn overlooking the valley. To the rear, there was previously commercial forestry which has been harvested and is to be replanted (by the seller) with native broadleaf trees before the sale completes.
Located on a lower level to the southwest of the farmhouse is a traditional range of stone buildings which could be utilised for storage or stabling with potential for conversion to residential use (subject to the necessary consents). In addition, there is a large steel portal framed livestock building which could also be repurposed for alternative use, and a Dutch barn within one of the paddocks.
The land extends to approximately 13.04 hectares (32.22 acres) in total, including grazing paddocks, a woodland, steading yard, hardstanding and traditional stone sheep pens. Part of the Logan Burn falls within the area being sold.
Additional land adjoining the property may be available by separate negotiation (identified as Lot 2 on the sale plan). For further details please speak to the joint selling agents.
Location
Cleuchfoot is situated in a peaceful rural location close to the town of Langholm, in the county of Dumfries and Galloway. This picturesque corner of Dumfriesshire is unspoiled, yet access to the area is excellent being close to the A7 which links Carlisle with the Scottish Borders towns of Hawick, Selkirk and Galashiels before continuing onwards to Edinburgh. The A74(M) is also only 12 miles away providing easy access into west central Scotland, with Glasgow being 90 miles distant. Carlisle train station is approximately 21 miles from the property, providing direct links to London and Glasgow/Edinburgh via the West Coast Main Line, with journey times to London taking less than 4 hours.
The town of Langholm lies at the foot of the Ewes valley and is considered the first of the Borders towns despite actually being in Dumfriesshire. It offers a good range of local facilities, as well as nursery, primary and secondary schools. Further afield, Carlisle has a wide range of professional services and shopping facilities. Private schooling is available near Carlisle at Austin Friars School and the preparatory school of St Mary’s is located in Melrose (46 miles), and there are also many private schools in and around Edinburgh (91 miles).
Riding has always been a focal point for the local community, with the tradition of Borders common ridings. The Langholm common riding is in July and celebrates the town’s history and tradition. The rideouts involve hundreds of participants riding out of the town and along its borders.
The wider area offers a wealth of outdoor activities. The Border Esk and the Tweed rivers are both within easily commutable distance, and the Teviot, Annan and Nith also provide excellent fishing in close proximity. There are many golf courses in the area, including a picturesque nine hole course at Langholm, and a championship course at the Roxburgh near Kelso (48 miles). Many local estates let out driven pheasant, partridge and grouse shooting of the highest quality.
Newcastleton Forest is nearby and home to one of the renowned '7 Stanes' mountain biking centres which span the south of Scotland. The forest itself stretches to the English border where it meets the Kielder Forest and Reservoir, making it part of the largest forest in Britain. The Lake District National Park is also within easy reach offering wonderful routes for both walkers and cyclists.
