A stunning and historically rich estate has just been listed on the market, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of Georgian history. Located on the picturesque banks of the Urr Water, this 28-acre property has been lovingly cared for by the same family for a century.
At the heart of the estate stands the grand Georgian Walton Park House, a true gem dating back to 1816. The home was originally purchased by Major James Campbell, whose initials can still be seen above the entrance. Upon entering through the pillared gateway and down the sweeping driveway, one is immediately struck by the elegance and grandeur of the house.
With its spacious reception rooms, six bedrooms, two additional attic rooms, and a self-contained apartment in the basement, this home is perfect for hosting gatherings and entertaining guests. But the main house is just the beginning - the estate also boasts two charming cottages and a former stable block that could potentially be developed into holiday accommodations, pending the necessary approvals.
The beauty of Walton Park extends beyond the house itself, with its stunning grounds featuring a variety of magnificent trees, rhododendron bushes, azaleas, and other established shrubbery. The traditional walled garden adds a touch of charm and character to the property. Surrounded by wooded areas and grazing paddocks, the estate also offers approximately 445m of single bank fishing on the Urr Water.
Not only is this estate a paradise for nature lovers, but it also benefits from its location in an area known for its mild climate and unspoilt rural landscapes. The Galloway Forest Park and Solway Firth provide breathtaking backdrops for a range of outdoor activities, including fishing, cycling, and golf.
According to Kay Paton, director of Savills who is handling the sale, "Beautiful Walton Park is the perfect residential estate. It will appeal to a variety of buyers who are seeking peace and tranquility, space for regular entertaining, or the opportunity to create a holiday business in a stunning part of the world with endless opportunities." Despite its secluded nature, the property is conveniently located for commuting and visiting nearby areas.
For those looking to add a touch of history and luxury to their lives, this remarkable estate is not to be missed. Subscribe now to read more about this extraordinary property and other home and garden news in the latest issue of Scottish Field.
