The property

Mine House is located in a beautiful quiet location just outside the village of Auchencairn. Set in rolling pasture, Mine House enjoys excellent views in a southerly direction over towards the sea to the Cumbrian Coast, whilst to the northeast Bengairn Hill provides a rugged back-drop. The property will be a significant attraction to many as the house sits in a quiet location within a well-established garden which includes areas of lawn, established flowers and shrubs and generous fruit and vegetable growing areas. Mine House offers wellproportioned flexible family accommodation. Historically the original property was previously the family home of the manager of an old iron mine situated about 200 metres down the hill and to the right of the house. This mine consisted of a series of fairly shallow holes in the ground. There were no shafts or tunnels and therefore no mine works anywhere near the house itself to worry about! The house enjoys a spectacular rural setting is less than 2 miles from the village of Auchencairn with its Primary School and Post Office/Shop. A wider variety of amenities is available in the nearby Artist's Town of Kirkcudbright, Food Town of Castle Douglas or in Dalbeattie from where there is also a fast road through to the main town of Dumfries.
