A distinctive rural property with clear development prospects has come to the market in Dumfries and Galloway, as Galbraith launches Meikleholmside Farmhouse — a traditional country residence set amid the scenic Annan Water Valley, just outside Moffat.
Occupying approximately 1.23 acres, Meikleholmside Farmhouse combines the charm of a period home with redevelopment potential, offering extensive gardens and a collection of traditional outbuildings suitable for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
“Meikleholmside Farmhouse is a special property – it combines the charm of a traditional farmhouse with the scope for buyers to develop and adapt the property to their own lifestyle,” said Rebecca Reed of Galbraith, who is handling the sale. “Its idyllic setting, coupled with excellent connectivity to major cities, makes it a rare and exciting opportunity for a variety of buyers.”
Accommodation and Layout
The farmhouse offers spacious and adaptable accommodation across two reception rooms and four bedrooms, including a principal suite with en suite facilities and a further bedroom featuring a walk-in cupboard.
A modern open-plan dining kitchen, complete with central island and patio doors leading to a courtyard, forms the focal point of the home — blending contemporary convenience with countryside character. The property also includes a utility room, cloakroom, and two dedicated office spaces, ideal for remote working or home-based enterprises.
While the kitchen has been recently upgraded, the remainder of the house presents scope for sympathetic refurbishment, allowing a buyer to shape the property to their own design ambitions.
External Features and Development Scope
Externally, the property is framed by mature gardens offering potential for further landscaping or outdoor entertaining areas. The adjoining stone outbuildings, which once formed part of the original steading, provide an exceptional opportunity for conversion into workshops, guest accommodation, or commercial use, subject to planning permission.
The site’s size and configuration would lend itself well to mixed-use or multi-generational living, appealing to developers and private buyers seeking rural diversification projects.
Location and Lifestyle
Situated within the picturesque Annan Water Valley, the farmhouse enjoys an unspoilt rural outlook surrounded by rolling hills, woodland, and open farmland. The area is renowned for outdoor pursuits, including walking, cycling, fishing, and equestrian activities, with an abundance of local wildlife enhancing its natural appeal.
The nearby town of Moffat offers a vibrant community with independent shops, cafes, and cultural attractions, and is recognised as Scotland’s first Dark Sky Town and first Golden Eagle Town. Strong transport links provide convenient access to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Carlisle, making Meikleholmside an appealing option for commuters or second-home buyers alike.
