The Accommodation
Converted from a former farm steading in 2002, Carlesgill Steading is an attractive family home that lies within a courtyard of three properties in total and is located just 4 miles from Langholm in the hamlet of Westerkirk through which runs the River Esk. The property, built circa 1850, benefits from superb rural views across the neighbouring countryside.
Entering through the front door into a hallway, the ground floor offers a generous reception room – previously used as a dining hall – which leads either to the conservatory; through double doors that open into the sitting room; and to the kitchen. The modern fitted kitchen enjoys views over the garden and leads down the hallway to an adjacent utility room and shower room. Also, on the ground floor is a master bedroom and second bedroom, both with fitted wardrobes, and a further bathroom. The principal master bedroom occupies the first floor with a dressing room and en-suite shower room. Two further large loft rooms complete the accommodation. Subject to necessary planning consent, the addition of a second staircase would create two further bedrooms in the loft space, making this a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom property.
Externally there is a generous-sized enclosed garden to the side and rear of the property. Predominantly laid to lawn with mature hedging, an attractive pond, paved patio and garden shed. The garden enjoys a south-westerly aspect and uninterrupted views over the rolling countryside. There is a large gravelled area which would be perfect for adding raised beds and a greenhouse. The detached, pitched-roofed double garage (5.5m x 5m) is serviced by power, water and has two up-and-over doors. This space has its own private, gated driveway, additional parking area and is currently used as a garden room but could be turned into a studio or ‘work-from-home’ office.
