SITUATION
The Linn is a peaceful, south-facing house in a scenic rural position. It stands above the Shinnel River and waterfall, and is surrounded by rolling hills and woodland, just outside the hamlet of Tynron, just 2.5 miles from Penpont.
Penpont provides a local shop, garage and primary school. A broader range of shops, schools, services and local businesses are available in Thornhill (5.4miles) and Dumfries (19 miles) the regional capital, has Dumfries Royal Infirmary, a leisure complex, pubs, restaurants and hotels. The Crichton Campus, home to the local campuses of both Glasgow University and the University of the West of Scotland can also be found in Dumfries.
The area is renowned for its diverse range of outdoor pursuits and activities. Hill walking and hiking is available all over the area on numerous paths and hills. There is excellent fishing available on the region’s many rivers and lochs, as well as good sea fishing off the coast. Mountain bike enthusiasts are well catered for with Drumlanrig Castle’s mountain bike tracks just 4 miles away and Seven Stanes mountain biking at Ae Forest. For golfers there are several excellent courses nearby including the championship course at Southerness. Shooting is available on various estates. Equestrian pursuits are also well catered for with many stables offering livery and schooling. Birdwatchers can be entertained endlessly at the nature reserves at Mersehead and Caerlaverock, run by the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, where amongst other species Ospreys can be seen.
At The Linn itself there is fishing below the house and swimming in the waterfall pool as well as nature all around.
Dumfries and Galloway is also an arts and crafts hub, with the annual Spring Fling taking place at the end of May every year.
Communications to the area are good. The M74 is around 45 minutes’ drive away, giving easy access to the central belt of Scotland to the north, and the M6 leading to the south. There are both domestic and international flights available from Prestwick Airport (49 miles), Glasgow Airport (72 miles) and Edinburgh airport (86 miles).
DESCRIPTION
The Linn presents a unique opportunity to purchase a beautifully situated detached dwelling in attractive rural surrounds. Now in need of modernisation, the property offers generous accommodation space over two floors (coombed ceilings to the first floor). The Linn lends itself perfectly to family life, a rural retreat for family and friends to enjoy. The Linn was originally a smaller cottage but through time incorporated the adjoining barn and was developed to substantially increase the accommodation space over two floors. There is further potential to develop, subject to local planning consent. The property benefits from oil central heating and double glazing throughout. The Linn occupies a generous site, on a gradient, extending to about 2.75 acres in total with a small field to the rear of the property (with Right of Way passing through) and terraced grounds to the front extending to the banks of Shinnel River. A large area of hard standing provides ample parking for numerous vehicles and vehicular access to both outbuildings. Woodland extends adjacent to the river and to the access road. A highly sought after location and a desirable property which is in high demand throughout the region.

To the front of the property the grounds extend down to the Shinnel river and waterfall Airds Linn, with an opportunity to terrace and landscape the grounds to take full advantage of the setting and enjoy the views further afield in the very peaceful surroundings. An area of woodland, stretching up to the access road for The Linn. Garden area to front and drying green to side. Large area of hard standing ideal for multiple vehicles, providing access to outbuildings.
