So much potential in this 18th century church manse

A beautiful church manse dating from the 18th century is now for sale in the south of Scotland.

Durisdeer Manse, located in Durisdeer, Thornhill, is a detached 2.5 storey house with a two storey rear projection, offered for sale by the Church of Scotland.

Benefitting from a private setting, the seven bedroom property features a large and vibrant front garden and outbuildings, as well as adjoining open fields with moorland beyond.

The original house dates back to 1763 and presents a wonderful opportunity for a development project.

The property was built in 1763 and is located in a conservation area; however, it is not a listed building. The property retains many original features such as an old wash house.

Electricity is via mains supply with the meter and consumer units located within the rear office. Drainage is to a septic tank located to the front of the property.

There is a private water supply and the stop tap is located within the utility room. The water source is in the adjacent field.

Heating and hot water are provided by an oil boiler, which is connected to steel panelled radiators distributed throughout the property.
There is an oil fuelled Rayburn in the kitchen.

There is garden ground to all sides of the property with adjoining open fields to one side and moorland beyond. The property is reached by a private gated access drive and the dilapidated rear outbuildings are reached by a shared and unmade track.

The seller will grant a right of access over this track which is also the access to the adjoining field. The outbuildings may have potential for redevelopment subject to the necessary local authority consents being obtained.
