With COVID-19 still at large and the thoughts that another virus could follow in the future, people are now looking for properties that offer more space both inside and out, making space the new currency in housing. More opportunities for remote working allow people to have the freedom to work outside cities and in a relaxing environment.
Surrounded by stunning views, Orchardton Castle is a little gem in South-West Scotland with 25,000 sq feet, over 40 rooms, extensive lawns around, and an enclosed hedged garden to the south. It has facilities like the cinema with real cinema chairs, a fifteen feet screen and surround sound. There is also a table tennis room, library, art room and function room amongst others. It also has a paddock, stables, and its own wildlife pond. Plenty of parking and room to expand. Peacocks, deer, and pheasants are regular visitors.
With views to the Lake District across the Solway Firth and firmly set on the Scottish Riviera only 40 miles from England and 90 miles from Edinburgh, the property is well placed for travel and has a current internet speed of up to 900MBPS if you are worried about working from home.
There is space for a helicopter landing pad in the back garden with easy approach across the Solway Firth. Orchardton Castle is situated on the Scottish Riviera with sea views at the back and hill views at the front, Gulf stream weather allows for rare plants and trees, including a palm tree in the back garden.
