A small shop is situated in nearby Colvend, along with a highly rated primary school, and there are two pubs in Kippford, where there is also a yacht club and moorings.

DESCRIPTION
Situated in an elevated position, Drumbeg cottage occupies a unique location in Rockcliffe that encapsulates views of Colvend Church, Castle Point and the iconic Hestan Island. On clear days these views are framed by the peaks of The Lake District to the South plus Screel and Bengairn to the west.
The cottage is tastefully decorated and provides deceptively spacious accommodation. There are two reception rooms, the first a bright and sunny triple aspect sitting and dining space with patio doors leading out to the sheltered patio. A more formal sitting room with fireplace and log burner provides a cosy autumn/winter retreat from which to enjoy the changing seasons in this stunning part of the world. A compact but well-appointed kitchen is supported by a small utility area and an entrance porch with matching fitted cupboards. Two soothingly decorated double bedrooms provide guest accommodation, with a bathroom, separate WC, and a small study completing the ground floor.
The upstairs bedroom, currently the master bedroom, was originally added as an art studio and provides stunning views on all three aspects. To the east it provides views of spectacular sun rises which is a rare aspect in Rockcliffe and to the west elevation has views through to Kippford. The space is flexible and can be used as a lounge or bedroom.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a wonderful retreat in a much sought-after coastal location. Drumbeg is an engaging and comfortable property as it is, but a buyer could also choose to develop the site and construct a larger more conventional property, subject to obtaining all necessary planning consents.
ACCOMMODATION
Ground Floor: Entrance porch. Kitchen. Utility. Sitting Room. Living/Dining Room. Two Double Bedrooms. Study. WC. Bathroom

MORTGAGEABILITY
NB. Drumbeg is of non-conventional construction and is therefore not mortgageable.
GARDEN AND GROUNDS
Arriving at the entrance to Drumbeg there is ample parking and a garage. A secluded entranceway leads down the path to the cottage. The garden is mainly sweeping areas of grass with occasional granite outcrops, which have huge potential for incorporation into more formal landscaping. A number of mature trees and shrubs lend interest and colour with an attractive and sheltered patio ideal for outdoor entertaining. An area to the east of the site has been left to grow wild and attracts a variety of insect life. There are frequent sightings in the mornings of stag in neighbouring field, woodpeckers, red squirrel and red kites.
