Sensitively restored 18th century Corn Mill in a beech tree grove beside a stream with a garden extending to around 2 acres.
The accommodation comprises: kitchen with oil-fired Aga, winter dining room (with view of mill wheel) summer dining with atrium, sitting room, 3 bedrooms bathrooms and 1 toilet, well stocked, library and conservatory with 300 degree views over river and rock pools. The internal decor is of a high standard; open stonework, oak doors throughout, interesting architectural features and object d'art from around the world.
The mill is situated next to the Pennyland Burn in a grove of 200 year old beeches. The two acres of grounds include a walled kitchen garden, a Monet inspired bridge, a 15ft circular stone dove-cot (with around 20 white doves, a dozen assorted ducks and a white female goose) and several large sculptures. The secluded location attracts a range of wildlife (mostly observable from the conservatory), including red squirrels, herons, pheasants and many varieties of small birds.
Dumfries is the nearest town (6 miles), the Solway Coast is a mere half hour away, Carlisle is 45 minutes and Edinburgh and Glasgow 75 minutes by car. Dumfries and Galloway is sometimes referred to as Scotland in miniature because it contains the full range of landscapes-rugged coastline and estuary, deep-cut glaciated glens, huge forests and the bare hills of the Southern Uplands. It is an area which has always appealed to writers, poets and artists and an ideal location for relaxing, walking, fishing, biking and heritage tourism.
