Description
Internally, the property offers generous accommodation including three double bedrooms, a spacious lounge with log burner, and a sizeable kitchen/dining room. While the property does require upgrading throughout, it provides a solid foundation for redevelopment, allowing a purchaser to modernise and create a home tailored entirely to their own style and requirements.
Externally, this is where the property truly excels. The plot extends to approximately half an acre and is surrounded by open farmland, with uninterrupted views to both the front and rear across rolling countryside towards Moniaive and Dunscore. The setting offers a peaceful and private lifestyle, immersed in nature, with open skies, agricultural land and a strong sense of rural tranquillity.
A particularly notable feature is the substantial triple garage/workshop, offering exceptional versatility. Whether for agricultural use, vehicle storage, mechanical work or hobby space, the scale and practicality of this building significantly enhance the overall proposition and set the property apart from others in the market.
The location strikes an ideal balance between rural living and accessibility. Dunscore itself is a well-regarded village with a strong community feel, offering a popular primary school and local amenities, while Dumfries is approximately 6 miles away, providing a wider range of shopping, schooling, healthcare and transport links.
Overall, this is a property that offers far more than just accommodation — it presents an opportunity to create a lifestyle. With space, views, outbuildings and potent

The room benefits from multiple windows to both the front and rear, allowing for an abundance of natural light, as well as a door providing direct access to the garden. Exposed roof rafters continue the characterful feel of the home. The kitchen would benefit from modernisation, presenting an opportunity to create a bespoke space tailored to individual requirements.

The room enjoys windows to the front and side, along with sliding patio doors to the rear garden, creating a bright and inviting space with a strong connection to the outdoors.

A side access door provides additional convenience, and the scale of the building comfortably accommodates multiple vehicles or equipment. Included within the sale are the existing shelving and storage units, along with a ride-on lawnmower.
Vehicular access is available to the side of the property, although groundworks would be required to fully utilise access to all three garage doors.
External - To the front, the property benefits from a small garden area with a pathway leading to the entrance, along with oil storage servicing the property. The setting is a key feature, offering uninterrupted views across surrounding farmland and countryside.

The outdoor space is a standout feature, with open views to both the front and rear across rolling countryside towards Moniaive and Dunscore, creating a peaceful and private rural setting.
