5 bed detached house for sale

Lloret, Barburgh Mill, Auldgirth, Dumfries, Dumfries And Galloway DG2

Detached home in riverbank setting with around 26 acres of land

Description
Nestled in a scenic riverside setting in the village of Auldgirth, this single storey property presents a superb opportunity for buyers seeking a spacious family home with extensive outdoor amenities. The property is complemented by a large, landscaped back garden, a private indoor swimming pool with changing facilities, and around 26 acres of lush woodland.

Recently refreshed with new carpeting and decor, Lloret is an inviting home, though some elements of upgrading are still required to fully realise the property's potential. The spacious hall and welcoming entrance set the tone, leading into a generous study, elegant living and dining rooms, and a conservatory that overlooks the pool area. The kitchen is well appointed with integrated appliances, and there is also a utility room. Lloret benefits from an indoor swimming pool and changing area housed in a wonderfully light, glazed conservatory space which enjoys views of the garden and has a productive grapevine. The swimming pool itself is dilapidated and requires refurbishment.

Lloret’s boundary stretches along the tranquil riverbank and features well-maintained paths and outdoor seating areas. The wider grounds extend to approximately 26 acres and include a substantial area of private woodland together with an established meadow field. Known locally as 5 Acre Wood, the unspoilt woodland is approached via a footbridge and offers a rich and varied habitat. The meadow has historically been let to a local farmer but is now offered with vacant possession, affording purchasers the flexibility to utilise the land.

The combination of mature woodland and established meadowland significantly enhances the property’s visual appeal and supports an abundance of wildlife throughout the year, including ducks, heron, oystercatchers, geese, swans, deer, otters and numerous other species freely inhabiting the grounds.

A prominent double garage with electric doors and versatile attic level, alongside a substantial workshop, all provide space for hobbies or additional storage.

Located in the historic village of Auldgirth on the A76, the property benefits from a peaceful rural setting with excellent accessibility. Local amenities, primary and secondary schools are approximately 20 minutes’ drive in Dumfries or Thornhill. The area is steeped in history, with nearby sites including the ancient Roman fortlet and the historic woollen mill at Barburgh Mill.

Dumfries is a busy country town providing a wide range of facilities including schools, a newly built hospital, a good variety of shops, sports clubs and professional services. There are railway stations at Dumfries and Carlisle with regular services to Glasgow and London.

The southwest of Scotland is well known for its mild climate, unspoilt countryside and abundance and diversity of recreational pursuits and field sports, including shooting and stalking as well as trout and salmon fishing on numerous rivers and lochs. A wide variety of beaches, coastal paths and beautiful walks are within easy reach. There are water sports and sailing on Loch Ken as well as on the Solway Firth, along with excellent hill walking and cycling along some of the numerous cycle routes. The 7stanes is a nationally renowned network of mountain biking trails in the hills and forest parks, linking seven mountain biking centres. In 2009 the International Dark Sky Association confirmed Dark Sky status on Galloway Forest Park (recently the subject of a BBC nature documentary series, The Forest), the first area in Scotland to be so designated. There are several golf courses within easy travelling distance including the Championship course of Southerness on the picturesque Solway Coast.
