The property

Galloway cottage in need of general modernisation and upgrading in beautiful setting and with 10.6 acres of land (4.3 hectares) How to get there Holm Mill is tucked away off the B7075 which leads north from Balmaclellan to join the road between Dalry and Moniaive. If you put the postcode of DG7 3XG in to google maps this should take you straight there. That said, it is hidden away from the road and perhaps the easiest way to find it is to take the A702 road from Dalry towards Moniaive, take the turning to the right signposted for Balmaclellan onto the B7075 and after a couple of hundred metres one reaches a small bridge. After crossing the bridge (which is over the river which would originally have powered the Mill), immediately turn right and set back from the road one will see the sign "Holm Mill". Continue through between the stone pillars to the left of the sign and follow the access track down to Holm Mill itself. General Information Holm Mill is a traditional Galloway cottage retaining many original features and now in general need of modernisation and upgrading. It enjoys a superb rural setting with a high degree of privacy, situated in the "elbow" of the river that will originally have powered the mill. The property has the benefit of being set in approximately 10.6 acres (4.3 hectares) of land, with plenty of space for outbuildings. All furniture and other contents remaining in the house on the date of entry will be included in the sale. The Sellers plan to remove a few items prior to the date of entry which will include the display cabinet in the hall, the oval table in the sitting room, and the small step ladder in the store Balmaclellan is an interesting village, quietly placed off the Kenbridge - Corsock Road so is convenient for the main A713 running between Ayr and Castle Douglas. The main local centre of Castle Douglas is little more than 20 minutes by car. Dumfries and Ayr are similarly easily accessible. New Galloway is less than 2 miles from Balmaclellan and Dalry is less than four miles from Holm Mill. Between them they have a reasonable range of local services including general grocery shops, hotels and restaurants. Dalry has a senior and primary school and New Galloway a primary school. New Galloway has a nine-hole golf course, a modern medical practice and the purpose built "CatStrand" of the Glenkens Community Arts Trust initiative offers an excellent range of community activity and artistic and musical performances.
