Characterful two bedroom rural cottage with outbuildings.
Description
Middleburn is a beautifully restored two-bedroom traditional cottage, thoughtfully extended with an architecturally-designed contemporary addition. Set within extensive grounds of approximately four acres, the property also includes several outbuildings. The property won a sustainability award from the Glasgow Institute of Architects and used a selection of sustainable materials in its design; sheep's wool insulation, wood wool boards, insulating hemp lime plaster, an insulated limecrete floor. It is pointed and washed with lime and uses locally sourced timber both internally and in the Scottish larch cladding. It also has a green roof.
Internally, the cottage has been sympathetically restored, seamlessly blending original features with modern comforts. The layout includes an entrance hall and a wonderful open-plan living/dining/kitchen space, ideal for relaxed country living. This area is characterised by a range of original features, including exposed timber beams, dual fireplaces, a Rayburn range and York stone flooring with underfloor heating. There are two generously sized double bedrooms: one off the living room and the other in the extended rear of the property, offering beautiful views over the gardens and surrounding land. The solid limestone modern, tiled bathroom includes a separate walk-in shower and a Japanese-style plunge bath. The sanitaryware is from Villeroy and Boch, the shower and brassware are from Hansgrohe. A practical storage room is located in the loft space, accessible via a ladder from the living room.
Externally, the property sits on approximately four acres of land, with several outbuildings, including two garages, three stables, two large field shelters and a shed/workshop. Subject to obtaining planning consent, these outbuildings could have development potential to create further accommodation or could be used for home business or smallholding purposes. The two main stables feature automatic drinkers, the tack room has water, drainage and the whole of the stables building has power. There is an Orchard with apple, pear and cherry trees.
Location
Located within the glorious Borders countryside in one of the genuinely rural areas in Scotland, with a small population, no major conurbations and a landscape characterised by rolling farmland, heather hills and the spectacular coastline of the Solway Firth. Despite its peaceful setting, there is excellent accessibility to the local county town of Dumfries & Galloway and beyond. Dumfries is an active country town providing schooling, a newly built hospital, shops and sports clubs. The M74, which is the main route between England and Scotland, is close to Dumfries and there are railway stations at both Dumfries and Lockerbie. The southwest of Scotland is well known for its mild climate, attractive, unspoilt countryside and the abundance and diversity of recreational pursuits and field sports including trout and salmon fishing on numerous rivers and lochs. Eskdalemuir has an abundance of archaeological sites including two sets of stone circles. It is home to the Buddhist Monastery and Centre for World Peace at Samye Ling and the village has a thriving community café/community space. Dumfries and Galloway is also home to a thriving creative community of artists and makers. Locally, Langholm has a nine-hole golf course, and there are a total of 30 courses in Dumfriesshire and Galloway, including one of the best links courses in the country at Southerness.
