A stunning Scottish Arts and Crafts mansion in a tranquil and private setting has just gone up for sale.

Whitehills House is a five-bedroom occupying a stunning peaceful woodland setting just a short distance from Newton Stewart in Dumfries and Galloway. It is currently on the market for offers over £980,000.

The magnificent B-listed property offers four well-appointed and elegant reception rooms on the ground floor, including a wealth of period features. A particular standout is the drawing room, with its feature bay window that overlooks the stunning terrace and garden.

Elsewhere, the garden room offers a peaceful spot to relax and also opens directly to a front terrace. Other highlights include the library with its ornate multi-fuel stove and the 'hobby room' that has a range of potential uses.

Moving upstairs, the family bathroom and the five spacious bedrooms can be found. The fabulous master comes with its own dressing room and en-suite bathroom, while another also comes with an en-suite.

Stepping outside, it quickly becomes clear that the nine-acre garden is the true star of Whitehills House. It features wooded areas, lawns, and a range of shrubs and trees that provide privacy.

The picturesque south-facing terrace is in an elevated position over the garden, providing a terrific spot to enjoy the expansive views. A hard tennis court with a perimeter fence, a garage with a workshop, a garden store, and a greenhouse complete the grounds.

Aaron Edgar of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, commented: "Whitehills House is a property of distinction and represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest country houses in the region.

"The terrace and gardens at Whitehills are absolutely beautiful and the idyllic setting, with mature trees all around, is second to none. Despite the tranquillity and privacy, the property is only one and a half miles from Newton Stewart, offering the best of both worlds."

Additional information and images can be found on the Galbraith listing.
