Features and description
A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a characterful former mill building set in a peaceful rural location. Barburgh Mill, steeped in history and rustic charm, comes with full planning permission for conversion into a spacious 3 or 4 bedroom dwelling, perfect for those dreaming of a home that marries heritage with modern countryside living.
Set on a generous plot between the A76 and the River Nith, the property enjoys a tranquil setting ideal for nature lovers and those seeking an escape from the bustle of town life.
Originally built as a lint mill powered by a water wheel driven by a lade from the Lake Burn, the building retains many original features, including the mill wheel, which, though the building is now derelict, remains in place as a striking reminder of its industrious past. Later used as a woollen mill until its closure in the 1960s, Barburgh Mill was constructed from local stone with distinctive sandstone detailing beneath a traditional slate roof. This unique development opportunity offers the chance to create a bespoke rural retreat while preserving the soul and structure of an important piece of local history.
Auldgirth village is located some 6 miles from Thornhill, and 10 miles from Dumfries along the scenic A76, and is an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts and culture seekers alike. Surrounded by the lush landscapes of Dumfries and Galloway, the village is perfectly positioned for walking, with trails that offer both serene countryside views and rich historical context. One of the nearby attractions is Drumlanrig Castle, located just nine miles north. This magnificent 17th-century Renaissance-style mansion remains a working estate and the home of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, while also welcoming the public to explore its ornate interiors, expansive gardens, and art collections. Thornhill itself is charming and well-equipped, boasting a variety of local shops and excellent eateries. Adventure seekers will appreciate easy access to the 7Stanes mountain biking trails, at the Galloway Forest, a renowned network of routes that cater to all skill levels, from family-friendly rides to adrenaline-pumping challenges.
