This delightful semi-rural cottage is situated in the tranquil hamlet of Quarrelwood, Kirkmahoe, yet only 10 minute’s drive to the busy market town of Dumfries.
The property has been tastefully extended and upgraded in recent years by the
current owners, providing a welcoming home with flexible living areas.
The recent lounge extension provides a bright and airy living space with triple
aspect over the surrounding countryside, patio doors to the rear south-facing garden and a
multi-fuel stove. Double glass doors lead directly from this into a spacious dining/family area with a glazed door to the large front garden and direct access to a well-equipped recently
fitted kitchen with fully integrated appliances, including a double oven and induction hob, ample worktop space and a triple window overlooking the pleasant garden.
Together, these three interlinked rooms provide an ideal space for entertaining and
family gatherings.
The bright hallway provides access to a south-facing rear sunporch/utility area and
further living accommodation. It also offers an open plan office area, currently being used for home working and benefitting from high-speed full-fibre broadband.
The master bedroom has access to a bright ensuite shower room with a heated
towel rail and underfloor heating, and a walk-in wardrobe. The second double bedroom overlooks the garden, is fitted with full-width mirrored wardrobes and is adjacent to the family
bathroom with a wc, vanity unit and walk-in corner shower.
A further generous, well-proportioned bedroom is currently being used by the present owners as a bar/recreation room.
The extensive, fully enclosed front garden includes both lawned and paved patio
areas and is laid out to take advantage of the sun at various times of the day, with mature shrubs and trees providing privacy, perfect for relaxation and alfresco dining.
The rear courtyard-style garden is laid out with paved and gravelled areas and is bordered by shrubs. It includes a further secluded seating area, accessed through the lounge patio doors, a large garden shed and a drying area. The drive to the side of the property provides off-road parking for three cars. The house benefits from modern electric, energy-efficient German heaters in every room, which can be individually programmed to suit the needs of the
occupants.
