Mossknowe House is a grand Category A listed nine-bedroom, eight-bathroom detached Georgian country house in the region of Dumfries & Galloway.

This property is on sale for £2,000,000 and is marketed by Finest Properties, Corbridge, via OnTheMarket.

Completed in 1769, Mossknowe House was built with Dumfriesshire sandstone and was later marked as a Category A listed building by Historic Scotland for its grand nature and significance. From traditional wood panelling and sash windows, to ‘egg and dart’ cornicing and marble surround fireplaces, original features are evident throughout the property and reinforce its impressive character which has withstood the test of time.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes a welcoming reception hall, a library overlooking stunning views towards the Solway Firth, a large kitchen, separate dining room, a drawing room, and three further sitting rooms. As well as the main bedrooms, many of which benefit from ensuite bathrooms, an additional self-contained three-bedroom annexe can be found in the East Wing.

A well-sized gym also provides an ideal space for home-workouts and the versatile basement offers plenty of storage and an area which could be used as a workshop.

Outside, Mossknowe House is surrounded by 42 acres of picturesque grounds including blossoming gardens, one of which features a historic Category B listed wall, grazing fields, equestrian facilities comprised of a stable and dressage arena, and a private woodland. In addition, the property also has fishing rights along Kirtle Water which allows for extra recreational activities to be enjoyed.
