Seldom available to the market, the 2.5 acres site inclusive of an extensive derelict traditional building, is considered a derelict Brownfield Site under the recently adopted Scottish Government National Planning 4 Policies. Prior to the recent positive Pre-planning Enquiry for redevelopment, the site had previously gained full Planning Permission between 2001 to 2017 for the conversion of a traditional building, of which planning has now lapsed.  Information on the recent Pre-planning Enquiry submission and response documents can be provided on request.  The lapsed Planning Permission for Conversion can be viewed on the Dumfries and Galloway Council Planning Controls website using the reference 14/P/2/0003.

The site has recently been assessed by Dumfries and Galloway Council as meeting the criteria to be included within the Scottish Government’s Vacant and Derelict Land Register.  The site will be included on the 2023 Vacant and Derelict Land Register.

The site is approached by a shared access road, with ample room for private parking to the front of the former mill. Mainly laid to grass, there is a meandering stream that flows through the site providing superb scope to create the perfect opportunity for self-sufficient rural living in unrivalled surroundings.  The site has Mains Electricity, connection should be completed through the installation of a meter by purchaser.  Mains Water is available adjacent to the site boundary, permission for connection must be sought from Scottish Water.

 The site is situated on the outskirts of the quaint village of Balmaclellan, with stunning views over the Rhins of Kells. The village boasts a well stocked village store, The Smiddy; a Community and Heritage hub and Townhall.  

To the West, across the Ken River, the Royal Burgh of New Galloway - which has a community owned Grocery shop, Post Office, The Catstrand; a purpose built Arts Venue and café, Medical Centre and highly considered Primary School.

To the North, St John’s Town of Dalry, referred to locally as Dalry is a picturesque village with award winning eatery The Clachan and Lochinvar Hotel.

Dalry boasts all-through ELC (Nursery), Primary and Secondary School education, providing highly regarded provision for children and young people from the ages of 3 to 16. Free School Transport is available for school catchment pupils from site.  
Close by is the Galloway Activity Centre situated on the banks of Loch Ken - which offers a wealth of water and land based activities and equipment for hire.

Approx. 15miles is Castle Douglas ‘Food Town’, with many artisan shops, bakeries and butchers . A choice of well known supermarkets, and education from ELC (Nursery) to S6 and Doctor's surgery.
