About this property
A superb detached two storey house converted from a traditional farm building to an exceptionally high standard and located on Airdrie Farm near to the farmhouse but in a private and secluded position with its own enclosed garden with wheelchair access to both the front and rear entrances. Within a short drive are wonderful sandy beaches at Sandyhills, Southerness and slightly further afield Rockcliffe.
A superb detached two storey house converted from a traditional farm building to an exceptionally high standard and located on Airdrie Farm near to the farmhouse but in a private and secluded position with its own enclosed garden with wheelchair access to both the front and rear entrances. Furnished and equipped to a very high standard the house provides superb accommodation in this wonderful area. There are uninterrupted views down across the farm over the Solway to the Lakeland Hills both from the building and the garden which is enclosed with furniture and a hot tub.
Within a short drive are wonderful sandy beaches at Sandyhills and, slightly further afield at Rockcliffe. The rspb Reserve at Mersehead which also has its own beach is within a ten minute drive. Being Scotland, golf courses are always close by with a 9 hole pay & play course just 2 miles away and nearby Southerness has a championship 18 hole links golf course, other golf courses are available throughout the area. Mabie Forest, again within a short drive, has one of the stages of the 7Stanes Mountain Bike Network, long distance footpaths and at the Farm Park an adventure centre for children of all ages. New Abbey, again within a short drive, is a delightful village where Sweetheart Abbey is located and there is also the historic Corn Mill open to the public on a seasonal basis. Whether for a restful or an active holiday it would be difficult to beat Criffel Glen.
