                     ********************   INTERESTING NOTES REGARDING THE FIRST PREVIOUS OWNER  ********************          

 

Miss Earsman was born about a mile away in 1837.  She spent all her working life in service at Dildawn mansion house near Castle Douglas.  On retirement in 1897 she built her villa in Gretna Green and called it after her place of work.

 

The staircase and two fireplaces are the ones she put in.

 

Miss Earsman never married and the house eventually went to a niece, then during WW2 it was taken over by the war department and was the headquarters of the Home Guard.  As war ended it then belonged to the Miss Brown’s, two sisters, who planted two horse chestnut trees at the far end of the large garden to mark the end of the war and new beginnings.  One of these trees still exists in the garden.  Dildawn stood empty for a number of years before being purchased by Mr & Mrs M. Phillips in 1985. Mr & Mrs Phillips spent a year renovating the property and have lived in the property since 1986.  It is a lovely family home but would also benefit from someone working from home.
