Lochside is a versatile property comprising a charming stone built farmhouse, two cottages which can be sold as a going concern, with furniture, fixtures and fittings, and future bookings (if the buyer wishes).
There are also approximately 21 acres of good grazing suitable for livestock including horses, cattle and sheep with the added convenience of a conveniently located large steel framed agricultural building with eight pens (four of which are concreted for horses) and could be suitable for a horse B&B/livery yard or vehicle storage. This is currently used for sheep but there are individual stalls and it was previously used for horse stabling. It has been a working sheep farm with appropriate water sources, sheep runs and shelter provided.
The Dairy (3 bedroom) and The Granary (2 bedroom) cottages were sympathetically converted from suitable farm buildings to be self-contained holiday homes. Both being meticulously refurbished to offer a range of contemporary and elegant accommodation with private enclosed gardens. Their current annual revenue has been between £20,000 and £25,000. Based on approximately 50% occupancy which could be increased. Established laundry and cleaning relationships are in place if looking for a passive income.
Providing either a comfortable family home with flexible additional accommodation or income generation, and as a smallholding perfect for someone wishing to keep sheep and/or horses in particular. The property offers diversification potential and further annual income generated from the solar panels fitted to The Dairy cottage.
The main farm house was built circa 1832 and named so from the nearby loch originally used for village curling. It offers more than 2,000 sq. ft of light-filled internal accommodation arranged over two floors. Set in a sought after position with scenic surroundings and all round far reaching views.
The 22 ft. central reception hall with a turned stairway rising to the first floor has a feature fireplace with a large log-burning stove. The accommodation opens to a pair of spacious rear-facing sitting rooms with extended views of the surrounding landscape, a formal dining room alongside and a bright kitchen to the front aspect with an array of cabinetry, well served by a pair of utility rooms. Completing the floor is a shower room.
On the first floor are four well-sized and peaceful bedrooms with various fitted wardrobes, elevated views and a further shower room.
A section of the main house would lend itself to a 'Granny Flat' or B&B accommodation with one ground floor section comprising of a bedroom, bathroom, large sitting/dining room, private entrance into garden, yard and parking. It adjoins the main body of the house through a lockable door.
The property sits in a picturesque rural plot with far-reaching countryside aspects, benefitting from approximately 21 acres of surrounding land ideal for livestock grazing.
There is a large gravelled courtyard driveway offering ample parking for over 6 cars, wrap-around lawned gardens enclosed via low fencing with various shrubs and trees along with the large sheep shed.
A workshop adjoining the Granary, which could be used (subject to usual consents/approval) as a third holiday cottage/ art studio/ extension to the Granary / bunk house / bothy for hill walkers using the Southern Upland Way approx. 500 metres along the private access road.
Whilst each of the two well-appointed and tasteful cottages enjoy their own private terrace and garden overlooking the pond.
The picturesque rural town of Sanquhar is home to the world’s oldest post office and offers a wide range of shops and services including a swimming pool, public houses, and a golf course. The railway station is located close by and provides links to Dumfries and Glasgow. Allowing for the potential to commute to either.
