The property would be ideal for medical professionals, being just over a mile from Dumfries and Galloway Infirmary.
There is also potential to develop part of the property, subject to planning permission.
Aaron Edgar of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “This lovely home has the best of both worlds – close proximity to the amenities of Dumfries but with very much a rural feel. The elevated position offers far-reaching outlooks over the surrounding countryside.
“The grounds were extended with the purchase of an additional piece of ground by the current owners, which means there is the opportunity to develop the adjoining site if desired and subject to the necessary planning consents. All in all Ardshiel offers an excellent rural home and an interesting opportunity for a range of purchasers.”
Originally constructed in the 1940s Ardshiel was purchased by the current owners in 1992 and has since been extended and improved in the intervening years.
The house offers a good balance of bedrooms and entertaining space, ideal for family life.
On the ground floor is the entrance porch, hallway, living room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, bathroom, dining room, an office which could be used as a spare bedroom, two further bedrooms, (one with en suite wet room) and the garden room. On the first floor are two further bedrooms and shower room.
The plot extends to 1.28 acres and beautiful gardens wrap around the house, with lawns, mature trees, flower beds and a south-west facing patio accessed directly from the sun room. There is a large outbuilding which could be put to a variety of uses (measuring 11.2m x 7.8m) with adjoining store and W.C. There are further outbuildings including coal store, log store and garden tool storage.
Ardshiel, The Glen, Dumfries, is for sale through Galbraith for Offers Over £600,000.
