About this listing

Snade Mill is located in rural Dumfries and Galloway approximately 14 miles northeast of Dumfries and 8 miles south of Thornhill. The rural property is accessed from the public road C116N from the A702 and is surrounded by undulating farmland. It is situated adjacent to the west bank of the Cairn Water, which has a foot bridge and path that leads to the hamlet of Wallaceton, located 5 miles from the village of Dunscore. Snade Mill is listed category 2 and was built in the late 18th/early 19th century. 2-storey L-plan mill set into slope of bank, upper floor only to west elevation; south wing doubled in thickness, with additional roof pitch (thrashing mill), probably early 19th century. Rubble-built, with ashlar dressings; original gables ball-finialed. Mill wheel on east gable, door to either face of re-entrant angle. Off-centre door to west gable, with semi-circular step, low opening to left into lower level; 2 small square windows to west wall of north wing; former door on north gable now a window. Some 19th century machinery survives inside. The mill has huge potential to be used for the purposes of generating renewable energy using the water wheel. Plus, the 500 metres of riparian fishing rights (trout). The potential as a storage facility or even a casual camping/glamping site, obviously having obtained the requisite permissions etc. The Mill itself is of a traditional construction, internally it was envisaged to maintain and restore the workings of the wheel and use the energy generated to provide the electricity and heating needed to power the mill as a dwelling.
