Broomholm HouseLangholm, Dumfriesshire, DG13 0LJ

The combination of a Georgian house, two cottages, extensive outbuildings, parkland and grazing, adjacent to attractive and productive sea trout and salmon fishing is most unusual. This is particularly so in south west Scotland, where much of the land is owned by large long term landowners, and hidden gems such as Broomholm therefore rarely become available.

Broomholm House is at the centre of the property, reputedly built for the Earls of Nithsdale, part of the Maxwell family, in 1749. The house is ‘B' Listed and has a classical south facing Georgian façade. The accommodation flows well and has an excellent balance of reception rooms for entertaining and bedroom accommodation, all over three levels.

The property retains many fine period features and a light and airy interior along with generous Georgian proportions.

The present owners have carefully upgraded the interior to offer a stylish and modern specification. The open plan ground floor accommodation comprises sitting room, drawing room, dining room, morning room and study. The spacious kitchen is well-equipped with and a range of high and low mounted cabinetry, with handy utility room and larder off. An accessible double bedroom with ensuite completes this level.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor including the principal with ensuite and dressing room, and main bathroom.

There are a further two attic rooms on the second floor offering flexible space which could be used as additional bedrooms if required.

Broomholmknowe and Broomholm Cottage
Broomholm has two charming detached cottages, each set in their own gardens with space for parking. Most recently these cottages have both been run successfully by the current owners as holiday lets.

Broomholmknowe is located off the entrance to the driveway and comprises three bedrooms, one with ensuite, sitting room, kitchen, main bathroom and shower room.

Broomholm Cottage is located in an elevated position by the courtyard and has two bedrooms, one with ensuite, sitting room, kitchen and main bathroom.

Broomholm Fishings
The top beat of the Broomholm fishings comprises approximately 0.85 miles of single, left bank fishing. One of the principal features of this beat is the island. This tranquil haven is accessed via an arched bridge built in Victorian times and has been planted with a variety of shrubs. The bottom beat comprises approximately 0.66 miles of single bank fishing.

Garden and Grounds
Broomholm is situated at the end of a long private drive lined with mature specimen trees, from which there is a spectacular vista of the river and a glimpse of the island.

The main garden is situated to the south of the house and is laid predominantly to lawn, flanked by rhododendrons and azaleas while conifers and beech trees provide privacy and shelter. To the west of the principal lawn the land slopes away to a terraced track skirting the western periphery of the garden. From here, it is only a short distance down over to the north banks of the river.

Adjacent to the house is a range of ‘B' Listed outbuildings arranged as a ‘U' shaped courtyard. These originally included stabling, byres, pig styes, workshop and former staff flat. Subject to planning consent, these buildings provide scope for further development.
