Corrie Kennels, Corrie, Lockerbie, DG11

Corrie Kennels sits in an elevated rural position with stunning views, in need of modernisation, and offers an opportunity to create a beautiful home with a large garden and outbuildings with or without an associated business. The property occupies a site total of around 1.10 acres. The field in front of the house may be available by negotiation and totals around 2.58 acres.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a property with a history of being the hunt kennels for the local landed estate and latterly a commercial boarding kennels and cattery, which has ceased trading due to the retirement of the current owner.

The Accommodation

The side door leads into a a half timbered entrance hallway with coat hooks. To the right is a utility room with double drainer sink unit, useful cupboard storage and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer. The large kitchen diner has fitted wall and floor units, with integrated oven and two ring electric hob. There is a mobile centre island with worktop and storage. A study room leads into the light and airy sun room at the front of the property, giving access to the garden and also affording wide ranging views of the hills beyond. The large ground floor WC has scope to be turned into a wet room with shower, which could be combined with the adjoining “family room” to create a third bedroom. This room currently has a wood burning stove fitted. There is a hobby room above the family room which is accessed via a loft ladder. The main living room has a dual aspect and open fire.

The first floor houses two double bedrooms, one of which has fitted wardrobes, and a bathroom with WC, wash hand basin and bath with shower over. The bathroom walls are fully tiled.

The property would benefit from a refurbishment and modernisation, but would create a beautiful family home.

Externally

The area for sale totals around 1.10 acres and includes garden, yard and numerous buildings. There is a useful bothy with kitchen and log burner; an old byre/prep room; grooming room; a building housing ten kennels and several other building made of timber and a former cattery. The timber buildings have been used as kennels, stables, a garage and a workshop.

The garden at the front of the house has been lovingly put together by the current owner and has been extended into the field to create a network of garden rooms. The garden is not looking at its best currently, so the time is right for a facelift.

The adjoining field, of around 2.58 acres, may be available at the vendor’s discretion, and at a price to be agreed. It is sown with grass and is in good heart.
