Mid Upper Priestside, Cummertrees, Annan, DG12 5PX

Mid Upper Priestside is a traditional farmhouse which has undergone a complete refurbishment to make it an extremely desirable home. It is in an unspoilt location, but relatively close to the town of Annan. It has a useful range of buildings, some of which are suitable for conversion (subject to necessary consents). The property sits in a ring fence totalling around 35.01 acres (14.17 ha) of land and is approached via its own private access. The property offers scope for several uses, including agricultural smallholding, equine use and holiday units.

Accommodation

The rear door opens into the utility room, with fitted units and sink. A shower room is located at the end of the utility room and comprises of a shower cubicle with wc and wash basin both contained in a vanity unit offering useful storage. The kitchen is modern with matching worktops. It has integral electric double oven, hob and fridge, as well as space for a microwave. The kitchen flows into the open plan living room with solid fuel stove and a door to the conservatory at the front of the house, which is currently used as a dining room. All of the preceding rooms have timber floors. From the kitchen, the ground floor covering turns to carpet and there are two double bedrooms, which complete the ground floor accommodation.

Stairs lead to the first floor where two further double bedrooms are present, with extensive views. The newly completed shower room contains a mains fed shower, with WC and wash hand basin in a vanity unit. The mirror over the basin has lighting and a Bluetooth connection.

The house is tastefully decorated throughout and is ready to become a new home for the successful purchaser.

A major benefit is the works carried out by the current owners to create a sustainable heating system (air source heat pump) and installing solar panels linked to battery storage totaling 10kwh. They have installed loft insulation, room in roof insulation and internal wall insulation, all of which has led to an exceptionally good EPC rating for a property of this age and construction.

Buildings

The buildings are a mix of traditional and more modern structures and offer a range of possible uses subject to any necessary consents. The building to the rear of the house could be converted to accommodation either separate to, or being incorporated into, the house. Plans have been drawn up for a conversion of the former kennel building to five holiday units. Equally, the kennels business could be reinstated.

The remaining buildings are suitable for a variety of uses, including farming and equine use, with open courts and stables. There is plenty of scope to create a footprint of buildings to suit most possible uses of the property.

Land

The land comprises of nine enclosures and is registered with SGRPI. It is all sown to grass and totals around 13.71 ha (33.88 ac) as registered, with the total area of 14.17 ha (35.01 ac) including the steading and tracks.

The land is in a ring fence, but there is scope to split some of the land off to other buyers, subject to negotiation and providing the property sale is wholly agreed.
