Features and description
- Freehold
An elegant and beautifully-proportioned Georgian Mansion House of character with approx. 6 acres of Land in rural Dumfries and Galloway near the Solway Coast. Originally constructed in c.1745, Valleyfield was for many years the family home of Walter Montgomerie Neilson (1819—1889) the famous Scottish locomotive and marine engineer and manufacturer and latterly the family home of the Weatherbe family.
Accessed by a private drive, the 6 bedroomed property sits in attractive landscaped grounds and including the adjacent pasture extends to approx. 6 acres. The interior has been remodelled over the years yet retains many charming period features including ornate ceiling cornices and fireplaces.
Twynholm is just a short drive from the Solway coast (nearby Borgue 7.8 miles is designated as a area of National Scenic Interest) and approx. 4.2 miles from the picturesque Artist's town of Kirkcudbright which sits on the River Dee and is the only town on the Solway coast with a working harbour. Kirkcudbright offers many independent shops, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, golf club, hairdressers, Tolbooth Art Centre, Harbour Cottage Gallery, as well as a monthly farmers market. It has a thriving Cultural scene especially in the realms of Art & Music. There is also a regular bus connection to Dumfries which gives onwards connections for buses and rail travel to both North & South of the country, the bus route also proceeds on into Stranraer with ferry connections to Belfast. There are also regular flights to other parts of the UK, Ireland and Europe from Glasgow Prestwick airport which is only a 1 hour 30 minutes drive, and both Ayr and Glasgow can be reached in just under 2 hours.
