A stunning former mill from the 1800s has recently hit the market - and it comes with an original water wheel.
If you're looking for a home with a bit of personality and happen to have £600,000, this converted family three-bed house - which calls back Scotland's industrial heritage - might be for you. Made from granite and whinstone, the building in located in Dumfries and Galloway offers up character and history in spades.
The property is called Waulkmill and is one of the best preserved textile sites in the region. It retains many of its historic features, including a water wheel as well as two cast iron dyeing vats.
The Category B-listed property has been refurbished, with the original water wheel incorporated as a design feature in the split-level lower ground floor space. The space is currently being used as a gym.
You will also be treated to a triple aspect sitting and dining room with a wood burning stove and oak flooring. In 2016 a second living room with another wood burning stove was added above the existing garage.
The property offers views over Queen Mary’s bridge and the burn behind and garden to the front as well as a glass sliding door to a balcony that allows you to watch the nearby Penkiln Burn. As for the garden, you can use the polytunnels and patches to grow vegetables if you wish - and, of course, there is also a treehouse in the grounds.
Sheena Ramsay, handling the sale for Galbraith, said: "Waulkmill is a truly unique property offering many quirky features. With three spacious bedrooms and cosy reception rooms to enjoy the far reaching views, it is the perfect lifestyle move.
"The scenic countryside location in beautiful Galloway is bound to appeal to any outdoor enthusiast."
Waulkmill is situated in Minnigaff, one mile from Newton Stewart, in an idyllic setting overlooking the Penkiln Burn and Queen Mary’s Bridge. Newton Stewart is known as the Gateway to the Galloway Hills.
