With its countryside views and easy single-level layout, this cottage in Balmaclellan makes a comfortable base for families or couples to explore Dumfries and Galloway. To the west of the property is Galloway Forest Park, which begins just 3 miles away and spans 300 square miles, offering walking, mountain biking, and lochs to explore. Castle Douglas, “Scotland’s Food Town”, is 14 miles away and well worth a wander, with independent shops, local produce and plenty of tasty places to eat. You’ll pass Loch Ken (5 miles) on the way, which is great for watersports, such as paddleboarding, the inflatable waterpark and red kite spotting. History buffs will love moseying around heritage sites, like Kenmure Castle (3 miles) and Threave Castle (15.5 miles), while keen beach goers will adore catching waves on The Solway Coast (26 miles). And, when you’re done adventuring, head back to your abode to soak in the stars in Balmaclellan’s renowned Dark Skies.
Step inside this charming bungalow and leave coats and shoes in the hallway before heading through to the kitchen. With its farmhouse-style feel, warm wooden cabinets and excellent range of appliances – including an air fryer – it's a comfortable space for preparing meals after days exploring the countryside. The lounge/diner offers a deep, comfortable sofa, Smart TV and a dining table with six chairs for relaxed mealtimes. A handy utility room provides a washing machine and freezer. Further along the hallway are three inviting bedrooms: a pretty twin, a calming double, and a cottage-inspired double with a stylish en-suite shower room and WC. Completing the interior is a family bathroom with a bath, shower, and a WC.
Heading outside, the garden offers open views of the surrounding countryside and a charming patio. There is driveway parking for two to three cars at the front of the property, with plenty of space to park comfortably within the grounds.
