Arkleton House is a historically significant Category B Listed Scots Baronial mansion set within an expansive 17-acre estate, featuring a courtyard, two cottages, and a walled garden. This property, which dates back to the mid to late 19th century, offers immense potential for renovation and investment. The main house showcases original architectural elements such as cornicing, Victorian bathrooms, and ornate fireplaces that can be meticulously restored to preserve its character while modernizing the living spaces for contemporary use.
The accommodation spans three floors plus a basement and attic. The ground floor includes spacious reception areas alongside practical amenities like the dining kitchen with an AGA range. With 13 additional bedrooms across the upper levels and several bathrooms, including en suites, there's significant scope to enhance this layout.
An indoor swimming pool installed in 1984 has fallen into disrepair and would require comprehensive restoration or repurposing. The adjacent gardens boast paths alongside the Arkleton Burn and features like glasshouses in the walled garden that could be revitalized.
Both cottages present further opportunities for improvement; they could serve as guest accommodations or rental units. Given its rural setting near Langholm in Dumfries and Galloway, this property not only represents a prime renovation project but also a chance to invest in a piece of Scottish heritage with broad appeal in today’s market.
