Inside unique Georgian townhouse in Dumfries with colourful link to Robert Burns
Scotland's Home of the Year 2025 is entering its penultimate week with only one place left in next week's grand finale and this Georgian maisonette in Dumfries could be a contender. Scotland Home's of the Year 2025 is entering its penultimate week as judges Anna Campbell Jones, Banjo Beale and Danny Campbell visit three properties in the south as they continue their hunt to find the best property on the BBC programme. The three homes competing for the last available slot in next week's grand finale are a Georgian maisonette in Dumfries, an extended Victorian semi-detached property in Dalbeattie and a modernised U-shape home in Peebles. However, with just one place left in the Scotland's Home of the Year finale - which will be held at the House for An Art Lover in Glasgow - the three judges must decide which home out of the three will get their vote. The final episode kicks start with them exploring the historical Artful Townhouse in Dumfries which is proudly owned by Fiona Lee, who is a Development Officer at St. Michael Church in Dumfries and her husband Ben. The couple have lived at the home for seven years, stating that they were initially attracted to the architecture and generous proportion of the rooms. The architecture of this early 19th century Georgian maisonette is an art haven which celebrates a mixture of historical periods and characterful interior styles. The property dates from around 1820 and was first lived in by Dr. William Maxwell, who had been the friend and physician of Scottish poet, Robert Burns. The Artful Townhouse boasts a spiral marble staircase with a dome top, known as a cupola in architecture, which fills the home with light. The interior is described as "eclectic" with an "east meets west and vintage" style with a large amount of the furnishing inside reflecting Fiona's time spent living in Asia. Fiona added: "I enjoy art and my collection was largely built whilst running the Kirkcudbright Art Tour." Here we take a closer look inside this unique property which is a possible contender for next week's Scotland's Home of the year finale..

Scotland's Home of The Year: Inside gorgeous Victorian farmhouse in Peterhead
Episode 2 of Scotland's Home of The Year sees the judges head to the North East and Northern Isles. This week, the Scotland's Home of the Year judges travel to the North East and Northern Isles, and view three stunning properties including a modern build in Orkney, a Victorian farmhouse in Peterhead and a contemporary farm steading in Pitmedden, Aberdeenshire. They start with Harbour View - a three-levelled house in Stromness, Orkney which, since 2019, has been home to Simon, Amanda and their cats Peaches and Daisy. With a modern Icelandic feel, the home is built on the site of a former oatcake factory in Stromness harbour and makes the most of its stunning sea views. Next up is an early Victorian former farmhouse in Peterhead. Richmond House is home to painter and decorator Roy who moved into the house with his late wife, Julie, in 2019 with their dogs Arthur, Audrey and Ruby. The couple's shared love of Art Deco style is evident throughout and Roy entered SHOTY as a tribute to his late wife who wanted to apply once the redesign of Richmond House was complete. Finally, the judges head to Hilltop House on the outskirts of Pitmedden in rural Aberdeenshire, home to Chris, Jessica, their son Chase and dogs Enzo and Dino. The couple designed their bright, contemporary house around the original footprint of the farm steading, fusing mid-century and Californian cool style to create their dream home. Now, the judges – interior designers Anna Campbell-Jones and Banjo Beale and architect Danny Campbell - must decide whether Harbour View, Richmond House or Hilltop House will represent the North East and the Northern Isles in the Scotland's Home of the Year grand final. Let's take a look inside the stunning former farmhouse in Peterhead... More On Scotland's Home Of The Year BBC
