A delightful country house and cottage within a woodland setting with coastal views
Description
Newbarns is a charming and secluded period farmhouse located in an elevated position amidst breathtaking countryside. The house has been a much loved family home, extended in the 1980s to include a large conservatory which provides much of the day to day living and dining use to capitalise on the beautiful surroundings, direct garden access and outstanding views.
The house is approached via a woodland driveway which arrives at a wide gravel turning circle by the pillared front door. The surrounding garden grounds are extensive with both formal and informal areas bounded by charming drystone walls.
The main house entrance opens into a large and airy reception hall off which there is a WC. A formal sitting and dining room provide ample space for entertaining and there is in addition a separate breakfast dining area in the farmhouse kitchen. There are various useful utility spaces and a boot room, as well as a bedroom and bathroom completing the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor the principal bedroom suite is an impressive light and airy dual aspect room, featuring steps up to a large wardrobed dressing room and an ensuite bathroom. Bedrooms 3, 4 and a shower/dressing room complete the first floor accommodation.
To the rear of the house, there lies a traditional stone range of buildings within which there is a self-contained 1 bedroom cottage (requiring modernisation). Attached to the cottage are useful storage barns with a loft area above, providing excellent workshop space or potential for further development, subject to the appropriate consents. There are 17 x 230W solar panels on the barn roof which were installed in 2011 with an estimated combined annual generation capture of 3220kW.
From the garden there are spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. Much of the landscaping has been created with lawns, wild flower beds, meadows with mature specimen trees which provide a lovely backdrop to the house and cottage. The land and woodlands extend in total to approximately 29.11 hectares (71.93 acres) and the majority of the area can be grazed by livestock. There are enclosed grazing paddocks either side of the driveway and abutting the A710 on the southern boundary, which are let on an annual basis to a local farmer. To the west of the driveway there is a large pond with a floating pontoon, stocked with trout and ideal for fishing and boating.
Services - Mains electricity (with solar panels providing electricity generation and a RHI payment), private water supplies (separate supplies to house and cottage), and drainage to septic tanks. The house has an oil fired central heating system and there is an electric Everhot range in the kitchen. The cottage has electric heating.
Location
Newbarns offers a beautiful secluded position within charming woodland and grazing grounds only 6 miles from the town of Dalbeattie and within close proximity to the coastal villages of Colvend, Sandyhills, Kippford and Rockcliffe. The area falls within the East Stewartry Coast National Scenic Area and is a perfect location for outdoor enthusiasts with a variety of activities to enjoy such as fishing, shooting, walking, cycling, golf, mountain biking and riding.
Nestled within the wider Dalbeattie forest (home of one of the world class 7stanes mountain biking centres), Newbarns is a south/west facing property maximising beautiful open aspects over surrounding countryside towards the Solway coast.
The southwest of Scotland is famous for its beautiful scenery, mild climate and excellent sailing. The Solway Yacht Club is based in the picturesque village of Kippford where there is also a hotel with restaurant and the village of Rockcliffe where there is a hotel/restaurant and tearoom. Some of the finest beaches in Scotland are found along the Solway coast and the surrounding countryside is undulating and highly attractive. There are fine walks along the coast and inland with excellent bird watching in the Solway Firth where there is an RSPB reserve and geese sanctuary. Dumfries & Galloway in general is renowned for its bird watching with a Red Kite Trail and regular sightings of ospreys.
Additional recreational facilities in the area include golf, with an 18-hole course nearby at Colvend Bay and the renowned championship course at Southerness (about 7 miles to the east). There is also fishing, shooting and mountain bike trails available nearby.
Colvend has a good village shop, primary school and café while there is a broader range of shops, schools and services in both Dalbeattie and Castle Douglas.
Communications are well connected with railway stations in Dumfries and Lockerbie and the M74/M6 motorway network only 33 miles away. From Glasgow Airport, which is about 101 miles to the north, there are regular internal flights as well as flights to Europe and destinations worldwide. Newcastle Airport (107 miles) also offers an excellent range of domestic and international flights.
