The Rare Rural Opportunity

A substantial stonebuilt home with the freedom to live bigger, work remotely and shape the land around you.

Set on the edge of a quiet hamlet, Meikle Richorn pairs a handsome period home with uninterrupted views over the Urr Estuary and out towards the Solway Coast. It feels peaceful and removed, but it is still practical from day one.

The house offers six double bedrooms, four reception rooms, a large home office, a country kitchen with Red Rayburn-Aga and a layout that can flex for multigenerational living, guests or income. Outside, the orchard, paddock, garden, hot tub and optional additional acreage make the lifestyle feel immediate.
