Description

Upper Glenlair presents a unique opportunity to acquire a detached smallholding situated in a serene rural environment close to Castle Douglas. Set on over 5 acres of land, this property is ideal for those looking to embark on a renovation project, whether it be for a smallholding lifestyle, equestrian pursuits, or simply to savor the vast outdoor space. The main residence, while requiring modernization, offers spacious living areas with ample potential for reconfiguration or expansion, especially with the existing planning permission for an extension referenced under 25/1124/FUL. Current accommodation includes a utility room, shower room, kitchen, living room, sun room, and two bedrooms, including an en suite master bedroom. Additional upstairs space provides further options for development. The property is equipped with oil central heating and a wood burning stove for comfort during the colder months. Outside, the land is predominantly pasture with sections of amenity woodland and includes access to two barns that offer great versatility for various uses upon obtaining the necessary permissions. While offering a tranquil retreat from the bustle of urban life, Upper Glenlair remains conveniently located just 4 miles from local amenities in Crossmichael and only 3 more miles from the services of Castle Douglas. This is an excellent chance for buyers seeking to invest in a peaceful countryside home with significant renovation potential.
