DESCRIPTION
A traditional farmhouse of stone construction, the stone is believed to have been quarried from the bottom of the access track when the property was constructed in 1903. Originally forming part of a larger farming unit, Nether Glengenny now offers a highly desirable lifestyle property with a huge amount of adaptability and flexibility to fit with the requirements of any new purchaser. The current owners have a number of sheep and graze the paddocks, whilst previously used the house to offer B and B, capturing a keen market being situated on the Southern Upland Way and near to the National Cycle Lane. Nether Glengenny farmhouse provides spacious accommodation over two floors. Well-proportioned rooms offering great family and entertaining space, all principal reception rooms and bedrooms benefitting from fireplaces for those cosier winter nights. The 4 bedrooms are all of a similar generous size with two en suite shower rooms. The living room provides a stunning feature fireplace and stove, with doors opening to a smaller snug/office ideal for those needing space to work from home separate from the busy family home. The central heating and hot water to the property is provided by back burner and Stanley stove, enhanced by sash and case style double glazing throughout. Two sets of patio doors from the rear connect the farmhouse with the garden to the rear with an external seating area. The property occupies a quite spectacular elevated spot within the Nith Valley looking across the River Nith and to the Lowther Hills. Nether Glengenny offers a highly desirable rural property from which there is huge opportunity to embrace rural living through many different routes such as equestrian, small farm, self-sufficiency or development of the outbuildings to provide additional accommodation to support a holiday let business or for multi-generational/combined family living (subject to relevant consents).
