The team at Property Solvers has selected a number of superb lots available at auction throughout the remainder of April 2023 across the country.
A hugely characterful two storey mill on the banks of the beautiful River Nith, Barbugh Mill is associated with such history that the area even boasts an ancient Roman fortlet and the local hamlet shares its name.
Commanding astonishing views of the surrounding countryside, this lot benefits from a large parcel of land – with the option of purchasing more, along with other properties and outbuildings.
The property comes complete with full planning for a detached property with 3-4 bedrooms. With a shared internal access road and plenty of parking space, the property’s proposed design incorporates much of its existing charm, alongside superb modern additions such as conservation skylights.
The mill’s position is ideal; just over 15 minutes’ drive from the town of Dumfries, and two minutes from the attractive village of Auldgirth – which offers amenities such as a beautiful rural pub and a local school.
The lot will be brought to auction by Auction Estates on 27th April 2023 with a Guide Price of £100,000 – £125,000.
Available freehold, this extremely attractive lot comes with full planning permission already granted for the development of six detached properties, each with five bedrooms.

The development plans currently in place detail properties in two different styles. Two of the proposed buildings feature detached garages, while four have integral garages.
The lot sits in a very attractive and peaceful neighbourhood with a calm, rural feel. It benefits from all the amenities of the local town of Skegby, less than ten minutes away on foot, which offers a great range of grocery shops, schools, eateries and pubs.
