Bacon House, Waterbeck, Lockerbie, DG11

Peacefully positioned along a private road in the rural village of Waterbeck, Bacon House is a substantial and highly individual five-bedroom detached home, rich in history, character and architectural interest. Understood to have evolved through three separate extensions over the course of approximately 300 years, the property beautifully reflects its heritage, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and exposed stone walls sitting comfortably alongside the thoughtful improvements introduced by the current owners. From the moment you step inside, the property creates an immediate impression of grandeur, with a bright and welcoming entrance hall leading through to an impressive double-height hallway, where the sense of space and scale instantly sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. Generous and exceptionally versatile throughout, the home is ideally suited to modern family life, entertaining and home working. At the heart of the home is a superb semi-open-plan living and dining room centred around a beautiful feature fireplace, while the spacious dining kitchen is equally inviting, with an Aga cooker providing a fitting focal point and an adjoining utility room adding practicality. Further accommodation includes a cosy sitting room/snug, generous games room and bright dedicated office. There are five bedrooms to the first floor, two benefiting from en-suite facilities, together with a spacious family bathroom. Outside, the beautifully maintained gardens provide an attractive and peaceful setting, enjoying lovely open-field outlooks, while ample off-road parking, an EV charging point and detached double garage complete this exceptional home. Combining considerable space, flexibility and period character with a wonderfully peaceful countryside setting, Bacon House is a truly special property that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
