The Accommodation

The cottage would benefit from some modernisation but has great potential to become a loving home. The property is accessed from the back of the house through a lean-to style porch with double glazed window which benefits from power sockets and plumbing for a washing machine. A door welcomes the kitchen which benefits from good quality wall and floor kitchen cabinets with stainless steel single bowl drainer sink with mixer tap and electric Rangemaster.

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, family bathroom and front door to front garden. The family bathroom is fitted with a shower cubicle with electric shower, shower-boarded walls, wash hand basin, wall vanity unit and w.c.

Adjacent to the living room, another generous room could be adopted as a third bedroom or used as a second reception room, benefiting from dual aspect windows. Under the stairs there is an excellent built-in cupboard.

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 with an array of plants, shrubbery and kennels. There is parking available to the rear including a metal shed/garage. The plot extends to 1.31 acres and once fenced will offer the opportunity to create a small paddock for some livestock. The cottage may lend itself to the possibility of an extension subject to necessary planning consents.

2 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.

Situation

2 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.
