DESCRIPTION
The traditional Category B Listed farmhouse at Scotsbrig has been modernised in recent years and benefits from up to 5 bedrooms and a large living room. One of the bedrooms is currently used as an office, providing flexible accommodation for working from home or space for guests to stay when visiting. The large kitchen at the front of the property and has an attractive central island unit and modern décor. The utility and shower room on the ground floor have been recently modernised. The upstairs bathroom has also been completely refitted to provide a wet room style shower and separate bath, with the original fire place remaining to provide character. The house benefits from double glazing throughout as well as oil central heating.
Externally, the buildings at Scotsbrig provide great flexibility for a range of uses. They could easily be adapted to meet equestrian needs or alternatively they provide useful storage. One of the old barns, which is currently in a poor state of repair, has planning permission for conversion to a residential dwelling which could provide additional accommodation.
The farmhouse and buildings are surrounded by areas of mature woodland which bound the Middlebie Burn located in a deep gorge to the south and west of the farmhouse. A small gate at the side of the steading leads to the burn, with a foot bridge leading to the neighbouring farm.
Please note: no additional land is available to purchase.
The village of Ecclefechan is known for being the birthplace of writer, philosopher, mathematician and historian, Thomas Carlyle, whose family moved to Scotsbrig in 1826. The farmhouse and traditional buildings are Category B Listed by Historic Environment Scotland (ref: LB16955) due to the Special Interest surrounding Thomas Carlyle.
