Charming country cottage in need of modernisation

Description

We wish to inform prospective buyers that the seller of this property is an employee of Savills.

Corner House is a charming country cottage thought to date from the 1900s, situated in the picturesque countryside of Dumfries and Galloway. It benefits from a gated driveway, surrounding mature gardens and useful outbuildings. The traditional stone built house has well-proportioned accommodation over two floors, as shown on the accompanying floor plans.

The front door leads into a small porch area with a pretty stained glass door opening into the entrance vestibule which in turn steps up into the large hall which provides access to the ground floor rooms and stairs to the first floor. The dining room and sitting room are both spacious with traditional open fires, decorative cornicing and views to the front of the property. The galley kitchen is open to the hallway and provides wall and floor units and a useful pantry cupboard. Beyond the kitchen is a pantry housing the central heating boiler. There is a sun room to the front and utility room to the back - both with doors outside. In addition, there is a shower room and 3rd bedroom or study on the ground floor.

Upstairs from the landing there are further steps up to two generous sized bedrooms, each with dormer windows overlooking the tranquil rural countryside.

Corner House benefits from a mixture of UPVC double glazed and timber framed single glazed windows.

The gravel driveway at the front of the house provides parking for several cars. The surrounding gardens have borders full of mature shrubs and trees, with a mix of lawned and patio areas. To the back of the house there is a T shaped building of traditional stone and brick construction which provides three useful sheds - an outhouse, coal /wood shed and a workshop. This building has mains power.
