Directions:  From Dumfries take the A710 towards New Abbey, after the Hamlet of Islesteps the property is located half a mile on your left.

Situation: Positioned within the picturesque landscape of Dumfries & Galloway, the property enjoys a rural yet accessible location. Located 2.5 miles  from Dumfries, the property is well served by an excellent range of local amenities and services. Dumfriesshire is one of the genuinely rural areas of Scotland and therefore provides a quality of life that is increasingly rare offering a lifestyle property for country pursuits.



The Accommodation: Pleasance of Cargen is an attractive extensive family home with generously sized rooms and south facing garden with breathtaking views over picturesque Dumfriesshire. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and has a good balance of reception rooms and bedrooms. The former creamery was converted and extended in 2017 to form part of the property offering great potential as an annex. The south facing garden is well maintained with raised vegetable beds, cherry trees and a greenhouse. The byre and store were also converted into Alongby Cottage in 2006. The planning permission was granted for holiday lets but the Vendor is currently in discussions with the planners regarding amending the permission to residential.  Adjacent to the house is an extensive range of outbuildings which were rewired in 2017. There is a great potential for some of the outbuildings to be converted (subject to planning and consent) subsequently offering an excellent holiday let business.



As a compliment to the stabling there is an outdoor arena (40m x 20m) with a 6 inch subbase and three paddocks extending 5.02 acres which all have water troughs from a well source and field shelters. The land is registered with SGRPID.




The property provides great scope in a superb location, making it an excellent opportunity for future development and therefore viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate both the secluded accessible location and the accommodation on offer.
