Nestled in a picturesque setting along Barhill Road, this property offers a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. Located on the outskirts of Dalbeattie, a charming town situated in the scenic valley of the River Urr, this area combines natural beauty with community convenience. The name Dalbeattie translates to “valley of the silver birch,” reflecting its lush surroundings.
The town features a robust local economy with various shops, cafes, restaurants, and essential services, including award-winning butchers and a modern health center. Families will appreciate the excellent educational facilities available within the purpose-built campus comprising nursery, primary, and secondary schools. Recreational options abound with nearby parks, sporting clubs—such as tennis and bowling—and even a nine-hole golf course. Additionally, Dalbeattie hosts seasonal civic events that foster community spirit.
Just a short drive away is Castle Douglas, known as Dumfries & Galloway’s Food Town, offering an even broader selection of amenities including supermarkets and leisure facilities. Dumfries itself is approximately 13 miles from Dalbeattie and serves as the principal urban center in the area with extensive retail options and healthcare services.
Access to transportation is another advantage; both Dumfries and Lockerbie have mainline railway stations that provide convenient links northward and southward. The M74 motorway network is 42 miles away, while Prestwick Airport is about 63 miles to the north. Edinburgh and Glasgow are also accessible within a reasonable distance.
This property consists of two plots: Plot 1 offers potential for a compact home with parking and garden space, while Plot 2 provides more substantial room for larger family living with additional features such as a garage. Both plots are designed to maintain privacy amidst established neighboring properties in this tranquil residential area.
Utilities are not currently connected to the plots; however, given the established nature of the neighborhood, connections should be readily available. A past obstacle regarding overhead power lines has been resolved at the owner's expense by relocating them underground.
Importantly, it should be noted that there is some flood risk affecting only the southern boundary of Plot 2; however, this mainly impacts adjacent properties rather than these specific plots. Access rights have also been maintained but have not been actively used recently.
With carefully considered renovations or new builds tailored to contemporary needs, these plots present an inviting canvas for both personal use or investment development within a thriving community setting.
