Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…

“ Over almost 4 decades within the property industry I have enjoyed marketing & selling many different styles & values of property. On one hand it would be professional to say that I don’t have favourites ...however being honest, I started out selling traditional homes in the West End and South Side of Glasgow …it’s fair to say that I have never lost my love particularly of Victorian/Edwardian homes and the Art Nouveau/Deco eras …indeed I have lived for many years in a Traditional Home in Galloway dating from the 1840’s.

So… when I saw/visited Laighmuir Cottage it brought a broad smile to my face, knowing that we are all simply custodians of the homes in which we live, forming part of their history …I appreciated that the current owners have certainly enjoyed their time as owners, now reluctantly moving as the beautiful far north of Scotland has captured their hearts.

The undoubted visual appeal of Laighmuir Cottage, its substantial/character accommodation and that joyful slate roof design await the arrival of the successful new owners. In my view, they will be very lucky new owners indeed …a fabulous Detached Villa for the price of a Glasgow West End or South Side Tenement …how can one resist? “
