Chanlockfoot Farm is a superbly situated rural farmhouse and steading set within approximately 6.37 acres of grounds, with beautiful surroundings and a high level of privacy.  This B Listed property is located within the picturesque Scaur Glen, just a few miles from Thornhill, and enjoys an abundance of wildlife and impressive views all around, with the Scaur Water gently flowing by on the other side of the minor public road. Chanlockfoot Farm is of traditional construction under a slate roof and benefits from oil fired central heating.  The property provides flexible and substantial accommodation over two floors, would benefit from modernisation and has the potential to be a very special family home. Accessed from the road, Chanlockfoot is approached via a private driveway flanked by dry stone walls and grass verges, that culminates in parking and turning to the front and side of the house. There is also additional access to the steading via a secondary track.   A solid timber front door opens into the vestibule, which in turn leads into the hall.  There are four main reception rooms, two of which are located to the front of the property boasting high ceilings, open fires and far-reaching views across the field and down the glen. The snug features a multifuel stove in a stone surround, while the fourth reception room is a flexible use room that could make the ideal study. An inner hallway gives access to storage cupboards, a ground floor shower room, and a shelved pantry. The kitchen is located to the rear of the property and has a range of storage cabinets and an oil-fired Rayburn stove (no guarantees are given to the workings of the stove). Directly off the kitchen is a breakfast room or perhaps a playroom, with sandstone flagged floor, and from the kitchen there is access to the rear porch, cloakroom, utility room and a large boot room.  Also accessed directly from the kitchen via a set of timber stairs, are two first floor attic rooms, with sloping ceilings. On the first floor there is a generous landing, with four spacious double bedrooms leading directly off it.  All bedrooms enjoy lovely views, and the family bathroom comprises a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin.  In all, the property extends to just under 3892 square feet. Garden, Buildings and Land The Farmhouse has an enclosed garden to the front and side which is mainly laid to grass, with mature shrubs, bushes and established trees. The garden shares the same lovely views as seen from the main reception rooms and bedrooms in the house. The vistas comprise of rolling green hills along with the tree lined route of the Scaur Water which provides for the most tranquil of settings. To the rear of the house is a large traditional steading courtyard. Access to the steading is gained from the house or by a track off the minor public road and leads to both the steading courtyard and also to the open fronted barn and sheep pens behind. This attractive steading befits that of a typical traditional farm. There are various byres and stores with haylofts above, and a long barn with various access points.
