Location

Larchwood is situated on the edge of the scenic village of Auchencairn, with the plot bordering open countryside on two sides. Auchencairn sits on the coastline of the Solway Estuary in an area of unspoiled hills, cliffs, islands, bays and beaches. The village has a primary school, nursery, garage, church, grocery store and community hall. It is approximately 8 miles distant from the market town of Castle Douglas and 8 miles from the granite town of Dalbeattie.

 

Description

Larchwood is a traditional granite 5 bedroom detached house set within generous garden grounds. The house dates from around 1860 and retains many pleasing traditional features such as high ceilings, fireplaces, stained glass ceiling skylight and staircase. The rooms throughout are generously proportioned and the flexible layout will suit a variety of purchasers. The property benefits from oil fired central heating and UPVC double glazing.

 

Outside, the substantial garden grounds are laid mainly to lawn with an array of large trees, mature bushes and shrubs offering an excellent degree of privacy. Included within the plot is a single garage, outbuilding and large tarmacadam parking area. 

 

Larchwood will require some improvement works but once completed, the property would make an ideal family home.
