2 SITUATION Satur Mill is situated in rural Dumfries & Galloway around 10 miles north of the England Scotland border with good communication links to the Motorway and main line trains at Carlisle and Lockerbie. The property is less than a mile from the village of Middlebie and just over a mile from the village of Eaglesfield where there are local facilities to include a public house, shop and primary school. Most required amenities are available in the nearby towns of Annan 6 miles, Lockerbie 9 miles or Gretna 10 miles with a little further afield the City of Carlisle 17 miles and the county town of Dumfries 20 miles. The City of Glasgow is also easily reached at around 80 miles. Satur Mill is in an historic property a short distance from Birrens Roman Fort which is a Scheduled Monument and we understand part of the monument extends into the fringes of Satur Mill woodland. The property is accessed off a quiet minor classified road with some nearby housing and largely surrounded by agricultural land. The fields, woodland and river that make up the property have much wildlife to include red squirrels, otters and grazing deer. The grazing land is complimented by garden areas, a woodland plantation and coppice area plus amenity woodland along the river and banks together with a pond on the western side of the river. We understand there is also some brown trout fishing in the river. The coppice does need some restoration but along with the adjoining plantation, could provide excellent home timber production. This is an ideal property for equestrian use and there are quiet lanes and roads in the area for riding out. DIRECTIONS From Junction 20 of the A74M motorway, follow the road east towards Eaglesfield and take the second left signposted to Middlebie. Follow this road for approximately 0.8 miles and just after the bridge over the river, take a turning on the right to Satur Mill. The property will be seen on your left as for the Location Plans.
