This impressive five-bedroom Victorian residence, dating back to the 1870s, is situated on an expansive 1.88 acres of land, presenting a wealth of renovation possibilities. Originally a fishing lodge, the property maintains many of its charming original attributes while requiring significant refurbishment to unlock its full potential as a cherished family home in the desirable Dumfries and Galloway area.
Upon entering through elegant double wooden glass doors into a spacious sun room that offers delightful views over the grounds, you will find a welcoming main reception hallway leading to various ground floor rooms. The sitting room boasts high ceilings adorned with intricate cornicing and features a classic Victorian fireplace. The dining room similarly showcases its historic appeal with another fireplace.
The generously-sized kitchen, currently equipped with traditional units and an oil-fired Aga, awaits creative modernisation. Additional spaces include a rear porch, utility area, and office, previously added for extra functionality. The first floor comprises five well-proportioned bedrooms, two family bathrooms (one possibly in need of remedial work), and ample storage throughout.
The extensive grounds encompass large lawns, exotic plants, fruit trees, and useful outbuildings that could be transformed into additional living or working spaces with the necessary permissions. This hidden gem presents an exciting opportunity for buyers willing to invest time and resources into restoration efforts.
Located just north of Kirkcudbright in the tranquil village of Tongland, this property offers easy access to local amenities while maintaining the charm of rural living. The property is well-connected by road to major destinations including Dumfries and beyond.
