C-Listed villa in stunning coastal position.

Description

Nestled in an elevated position just outside the picturesque coastal village of Drummore, Old School House is a remarkable C-Listed detached villa that beautifully combines historical roots with contemporary features. Formerly a schoolhouse, this charming property has undergone a radical renovation to become the splendid family home of today, with stunning views over the shores of Luce Bay and the surrounding Galloway countryside.

The accommodation presented includes versatile living space across two levels. The ground floor features a welcoming vestibule and entrance hall, leading to an elegant sitting room perfect for relaxation or entertaining and an open plan living-dining room. The highlight of the ground floor is the open-plan kitchen and dining area, showcasing a locally handcrafted oak kitchen with luxurious limestone flooring, seamlessly connecting to the inviting conservatory that floods the space with natural light and offers views over the gardens.

Additionally, the ground floor boasts a well-appointed bedroom with an en suite bathroom, a utility room with shower and WC, and an impressive swimming pool wing. The swimming pool, measuring approximately 3.35 metres by 10 metres, boasts a depth of around 1.3 metres and is temperature controlled by a state-of-the-art heat exchange unit. This, alongside the convenience of a kitchenette, shower room, a separate WC, and a plant room, make it the perfect retreat for wellness and leisure.

On the first floor, a spacious mezzanine area offers a unique vantage point within the home, with one generously sized double bedroom off. At the other end of this level there is a landing which leads to to a further three bedrooms and a main bathroom.

The property sits within a generously sized plot featuring mature gardens and ample off-road parking. A greenhouse, workshop and a detached garage provide useful storage or potential for further development.
