Dalawoodie House, Newbridge, Dumfries, DG2 0QY

The property

Dalawoodie House is an imposing Grade B listed building set within approximately 5 Acres of mature garden ground enjoying a peaceful woodland setting with fishing on the nearby 'Cluden Water' which borders the garden grounds. This former country house is located to the north western edge of Dumfries giving easy access to the local amenities within the bustling market town, as well as being handily positioned for easy access to both the M74 and M6 for onward travel North and South. The edge of town location and nearby transport links make this property well suited to a number of different purposes subject to the appropriate planning consents, which is why we have taken the decision to list the property for sale as a residential dwelling house and as a commercial property as there would be potential for Dalawoodie to perhaps operate as a boutique hotel or wedding venue. Dumfries is a market town and former royal burgh which has a wide range of services and local amenities as well as being well connected to the A75 main trunk road, east and west. Transport links to the area are excellent with train stations at Dumfries, Carlisle and Lockerbie, the latter having direct connections to Edinburgh (1hr), Glasgow (1hr) and London (4hr). The M74 motorway network is available at Lockerbie, and Carlisle can be reached in approximately 30 minutes. Glasgow is around 80 minutes drive and Edinburgh, about 90 minutes. Due to its location, Dalawoodie would be an ideal base for tourists exploring the surrounding area and the various attractions it has to offer, such as Drumlanrig Castle (which is famous for its art collection) and Ellisland Farm to name just a couple as well as access to some of the finest countryside in Dumfries & Galloway and the Solway coast is nearby. The location is ideally situated for tourists travelling north or south for a few days of relaxation. For the sporting enthusiast the surrounding area offers an abundance of activities including fishing on the nearby River Nith, and Cluden Water, as well as a number of Golf Courses and a number of locations for taking part in Watersports. This charming property was originally built around the 1840's in the style of renowned Scottish Architect Walter Newall; built in red sandstone with a striking Italianate Tower at its heart the external façade of this country house provides a glimpse of some of the charm and character found within the main building. It is apparent shortly after arriving at Dalawoodie that this is a unique opportunity to purchase a characterful country house retaining many of its original features confirming the grandeur of this delightful property.
