Kirkmahoe, Dumfries, DG1

With lovely views from almost every room, Glenhillhaugh is excellently positioned and comprises a charming, detached home with a modern agricultural building, a generous timber clad carport, beautiful gardens, quality grazing land and amenity woodland. In all just under 9 acres.

The property was built in 1815 and has been extended over time. The present owners have undertaken extensive renovation works to the house during their time here, to include a new kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, windows and decoration to name a few. In addition, they have added solar panels (8kw with battery back-up), and an EV charger to the carport.  The house offers bright, flexible accommodation and is in turnkey condition throughout.

Glenhillhaugh sits well in its plot with ample driveway parking, lovely views and woodland walks from the doorstep.

Note: The property is located opposite Kilblane Quarry.  There is permission in place for the site to be quarried for the next five years, after which time it will become a nature reserve. There are already lovely views over the water, and the quarry is not disruptive to the owners at all.

Accommodation:

The main entrance opens into a light filled hallway.  Off to your left is a useful utility area with shaker style cabinets, a granite worksurface and plumbing for white goods.  A step up from the utility area leads into the bright L-shaped kitchen.  This superb space is fitted with an excellent range of sage green Shaker style cabinets under a black granite worksurface.  Integrated appliances include a full-size fridge, two undercounter freezers, a dishwasher, double oven and an induction hob. There are also two undermount sinks.  The kitchen enjoys a triple aspect, with a bay window to the front elevation offering far reaching views across the fields to the hills.

The sitting room is a lovely size and enjoys the same views to the hills, via two windows to the front of the property.  There is an attractive wood burning stove, glass display shelving and a staircase that leads to the first floor room. 

Adjacent to the sitting room is the bright dining room, lit by a large velux window and borrowed light from the attached sun room.  Double, part glazed doors connect the dining room and sun room, making this a versatile entertaining space.  The sun room also enjoys direct access to the patio and front garden via a glazed door.

The principal bedroom is generous in size and enjoys a dual aspect with open views.  There is a modern ensuite bathroom comprising shower over bath, WC, wash hand basin and a mirrored cabinet.   There are two further double bedrooms, both enjoying attractive views.  The spacious family bathroom offers a bath with handheld shower attachment, a separate shower cubicle, WC, wash hand basin and a mirrored storage cabinet.

Last, but by no means least, is the first-floor room that was added in previous years to form a tower, which at the time was utilised by the resident artist.  Accessed via carpeted stairs from the sitting room it is now a lovely home office with built-in furniture and attractive views, but it would equally make a fun fourth bedroom. 

Outside

The property is approached via a gated entrance and tarmac driveway, that culminates in a generous parking and turning area at the rear of the house. A gravel track then continues down the hill to the agricultural building and stable.   The attractive timber clad carport is under a steel box profile roof and offers covered parking for two vehicles, with an EV charging point and a door to a generous store room behind it. 

The garden that wraps around the house is fully enclosed and extremely well cared for, with areas of patio, decking, lawned areas and well stocked borders, with many areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings.  There are specimen trees, mature shrubs

To the south of the property is a raised area of lawn with flowering borders and a magnolia tree.

Land

The amenity woodland and grazing land amounts to approximately 8.89 acres to include the areas occupied by the house, access road etc.  The woodland (a combination of oak, ash and sycamore) has been sympathetically planted to provide a shelter belt for the two grazing paddocks. They are awash with bluebells in Spring and a path through the trees provides lovely woodland walks from the doorstep.

The two grazing paddocks are stock proof with water troughs. The paddocks extend to approximately 3 acres.  There is an additional small paddock where the stable, a fruit/veg garden and the greenhouse is located.

Outbuildings

The 60ft x 30ft timber clad agricultural building (Farm Plus) has an insulated steel box profile roof, electronically operated roller door, concrete floor, power and light, and a useful mezzanine area. It is worth noting that there are no planning restrictions on the building and it can be utilised for any purpose. 

There is a timber stable and generous wood store, along with a greenhouse.
