An 18th century manse with adjoining converted chapel in an accessible rural location. Kirkton 1½ miles, Dumfries 5 miles, Carlisle 33 miles, Glasgow 73 miles, Edinburgh 74 miles.
Quarrelwood House is the amalgamation of a 3-bay, late 18th century manse and adjacent octagonal former chapel. The result is a very pretty, family-sized house in a fine position with a large garden overlooking a paddock which forms part of the property. The site of Quarrelwood has been inhabited for many centuries and was much frequented by Presbyterian Covenanters in the 17th century. The manse and chapel are believed to have been built in 1798. The main part of the house provides accommodation over two floors with an extension to the original house connecting it to the former chapel which has been converted as a magnificent reception room combining drawing room, billiard room and study under a single ceiling as one of the major attractions of the house. Built of whitewashed stone with ashlar margins, particular features of the house include a panelled front door with ogee-glazed fan light in an arched and moulded central doorway, astragalled sash and case windows and Venetian windows on the ground floor. With oil-fired central heating, mains water and private drainage to a private septic tank, the interior of the house is well laid out for modern living with the reception rooms at the front of the house, making the most of the views. Features of the interior include decorative cornices and ceiling roses, open fireplaces with ornate mantles, hardwood panelled doors, brass electrical fittings and a hand-made fitted bookcase in the drawing room. The house is maintained in excellent order with the current owners having made a number of substantial improvements during the period of their ownership.

There is also an arboreal garden under-sown with flowering bulbs with a meandering gravel path leading through mature wooded policies including ash, sycamore, cherry, beech and Japanese maple. This leads to a walled fruit and vegetable garden with enclosed fruit cages. The house overlooks an enclosed grass paddock extending to about 2½ acres. There are two separate gates to the paddock and a stream runs through part of the paddock providing water for livestock. The field is currently occupied by a neighbour on an informal arrangement and is available with vacant possession. Site for Potential Development: The site of the fruit and vegetable garden to the south of the house has been identified as a potential plot for a separate dwelling. This would, of course, be subject to the appropriate application to the Local Authority.
