The Accommodation

The cottage would benefit from some modernisation but has great potential to become a loving home. The property is accessed from the rear of the house directly into the kitchen which benefits from good quality wall and floor cabinets, stainless steel single bowl drainer sink with mixer tap and space for cooker and washing machine.

The living room on the front is a generous size featuring a large window over-looking the garden, built-in wall shelving and a fitted woodburning stove set in a brick fireplace on a slate hearth. The hallway provides access to the 2nd reception room/3rd bedroom on the other side of the cottage which also benefits from dual aspect windows and a traditional open fire. Under the stairs there is an excellent built-in cupboard and the family bathroom is fitted with a bath with electric shower and glass screen, shower-boarded walls, wash hand basin, wall vanity unit and w.c. Upstairs there are two excellent dormer bedrooms, both with built-in cupboards.

Externally, the cottage features a large garden space to the front primarily laid with lawn featuring an array of mature shrubs, plants and trees. There is a former well in the centre of the garden and the garden itself is bordered with well-grown hedges offering plenty of privacy. A patio and loose stone path around the house completes the garden. Over the track there is a solid garage/workshop with gravelled drive next to it and there is also additional parking available directly behind the cottage. There is an excellent plot of land located over Skipperscleuch Burn with a bridge to provide easy access across. Gated access is also available from the top of the main track where there are two further wooden sheds on the land. The land could be fenced to offer a small grazing paddock or transformed into a lovely botanic garden.

1 Skipperscleuch Cottage is situated in a beautiful area of South-West Scotland and offers a unique opportunity to live a peaceful and tranquil lifestyle, away from the hustle and bustle of citylife. The cottage may lend itself to the possibility of an extension subject to necessary planning consents.

Situation

1 Skipperscleuch Cottage is located on the outskirts of Langholm. Langholm lies between four hills in the valley of the River Esk in the Southern Uplands. The town is well know for its love of Rugby and the Langholm Common Riding, a horse riding festival which attracts thousands of tourists annually. The town has a variety of independent retailers, cafés, pubs, hotels, restaurants, butchers and bakers as well as Langholm golf course and both primary and secondary schools. Dumfries and Galloway is one of the genuinely rural areas of Scotland and therefore provides a quality of life that is becoming increasingly rare.
