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.

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.

Great location and a lovely house, but it would benefit from a deep clean and some tlc. However, we would still recommend staying here.
