4 bedroom detached house for sale

Drumshiel is a beautifully situated detached property set in just over 1 acre of well-tended garden grounds, with impressive open views towards the town of Thornhill and of the surrounding countryside.

Originally built in the 1950s, this bright and spacious home has been fully renovated by the present owners, and now comprises an impressive open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, modern bathrooms, air source heat pump and underfloor heating to the ground floor.

The property is approached off Golf Course Road via a private hedge-lined driveway that leads up to parking and turning areas by the house.  The driveway also culminates at the detached double garage.

Primary access to the house is gained via the side door, which opens into a useful boot room/utility room.  The room has fitted storage units, a sink, plumbing for white goods and a cloaks area.  A cupboard also houses the hot water tank.

An internal door then leads into the superb open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room. This wonderful space is filled with natural light via large windows to the front and side elevation and boasts a contemporary multi-fuel stove and attractive laminate wood flooring.  A glazed front door also leads out to the front garden.  The kitchen area is fitted with a good range of white units under marble effect worksurfaces and with a breakfast bar, and offers a stainless-steel sink, induction hob with extractor hood over, integrated oven and grill, a dishwasher and an American fridge/freezer.

An inner hall provides access to the first floor via carpeted stairs and gives direct access to the two ground floor double bedrooms.  The principal bedroom is generously proportioned, with a window to the side elevation and a modern ensuite shower room, comprising corner shower cubicle, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.  The second ground floor double bedroom would make an ideal second reception room if required and enjoys high ceilings and a dual aspect.  The adjacent bathroom has a wash hand basin, separate WC and sliding glazed door to a wetroom/bathroom, with contemporary freestanding bath and walk-in shower with rainhead attachment.  A useful study completes the ground floor accommodation. 

Upstairs, two large bedrooms can be found.  Both bedrooms are very generous in size, with wash hand basins and sloped ceilings with large velux windows, offering great views of the surrounding countryside.  The rooms could be subdivided if needed, due to their excellent size. A large WC accessed from the landing has the space for a shower to be installed if required, and this completes the accommodation.

Outside

Drumshiel is accessed off Golf Course Road, which is just a short distance from the town of Thornhill.  A private tarmac driveway, lined with a privet hedge, leads up to parking and turning areas, and to the detached double garage. The garage offers two sets of up and over doors and has a concrete floor.

The property sits within 1.09 acre of grounds and the garden wraps around the house, bordered by fencing and hedging.  The front garden is west facing, enjoying lovely open views and is predominantly laid to lawn, with flower beds, established trees and shrubs.  There are gravel and paved paths and a rock garden area. To the rear of the house vegetable beds can be found, along with a greenhouse and timber shed.  Finally, there are two original brick built stores, currently used as a wood store and general garden store.

Directions:  From the south, proceed north on the A76 from Dumfries for 13 miles, and continue into Thornhill.  Once at the roundabout in the middle of Thornhill, take the third exit and head out of town towards the golf course.  As you exit Thornhill, turn right at the entrance to the golf club, and the property stands alone on the left hand side.
