Set in a commanding position on the edge of Wigtown, Laigh House is a beautifully presented C-Listed villa enjoying uninterrupted, ever-changing views across Wigtown Bay towards the Galloway Hills. Extending to around 0.8 acres of private grounds, the property offers an exceptional balance of privacy, spectacular scenery, and convenient access to local amenities.

Originally constructed circa 1860 of traditional whinstone with stone detailing, Laigh House has been the subject of a comprehensive refurbishment carried out since 2022 by the current owners, resulting in an elegantly presented home of considerable warmth and character. Careful attention has been paid throughout the restoration to preserve the character and heritage of the house, with traditional materials and original features retained wherever possible, including servants’ bells, a water pump, bespoke book shelving, a glass cabinet, and a large safe in the snug.

The interiors are graceful and welcoming, with high ceilings, elegant proportions, and open fires with marble fire surrounds. The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged around four impressive reception rooms. The principal sitting room is particularly appealing, enjoying a dual aspect that allows for an abundance of natural light throughout the day, while the dining room is equally bright and generously scaled, ideal for both formal entertaining and everyday family use. A versatile family room offers further living space, well-suited to a variety of uses, and to the rear, a distinctive snug provides a more intimate setting, rich in original features and offering a wonderful sense of history and charm. The kitchen is well appointed, offering a bright and inviting space with bespoke cabinetry, generous worktop areas and a freestanding island that provides excellent preparation space. The ground floor is further enhanced by a stylish and well-appointed modern shower room, alongside a practical utility area and a useful log store.

On the first floor, the sense of space continues with five well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a dedicated dressing room. The accommodation is served by a beautifully finished contemporary family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath and marble top single basin vanity unit, creating a luxurious yet practical space.

Externally, the gardens are principally laid to lawn, framed by mature trees and seasonal displays of bluebells and daffodils. There is significant potential to enhance the property further, including the conversion of stone outbuildings into additional accommodation (previously with planning consent) and development of the part-walled gardens and orchard.
