1 Glentarras, Langholm, DG13

Glentarras Distillery was built in the year 1839, by Mr. J. Kennedy, a Scotchman, and closed in 1916 but the distillery houses remain and are still being used as residential housing today. The beautiful River Tarras runs in front of the works, and the whole of the Distillery was built from stones or boulders taken from its rocky bed. This unique, two bedroom end-terraced cottage which has been a loving home for the past 8 years, benefits from recent upgrades such as air source heating, solar panels with battery storage and a new roof. With fishing rights included, this rural escape would suit buyers searching for a quiet life or would make for an excellent second home/holiday let.
