Woodhead Cottage is a spacious and versatile, three bedroom semi-detached cottage situated in the beautiful Dumfriesshire countryside only a few miles from Eaglesfield. The property is offered with vacant possession and briefly comprises a generous living room, kitchen, dining room, utility area, shower room, ground floor bedroom and two double bedrooms on the first floor. Externally the property benefits from a good sized rear garden with patio and driveway at the front.
The Accommodation
The front door opens directly into the kitchen with doors leading into the living room, dining room and utility area. The kitchen is decorated with tiled flooring and walls, currently fitted with a range of floor fitted units along the rear elevation with electric hob integrated and 1.5 bowl stainless steel drainer sink. The current owners don’t have a need for an oven but there is excellent scope to install one again. At the end of the kitchen there is a useful utility area where the boiler is located and there is plumbing for a washing machine. The shower room has been upgraded in recent years and now features a walk-in shower cubicle with mains fed shower and glass screen, WC and vanity unit with sink. The walls are lined water-proof boarding.
Off the kitchen there is a separate dining room with stairs to the first floor, rear porch access and door into the ground floor bedroom. The dining room is spacious and offers an excellent opportunity for creating an open-plan kitchen/dining room. The bedroom is a comfortable double and features exposed beams. There is an original stone fireplace which we believe has been closed off. On the first floor there are two similar sized rooms with dormer windows, both with built-in storage space for clothes.
Externally the property is situated in a quiet hamlet near Eaglesfield, perfect for buyers seeking an escape to the countryside. There is parking at the front in the form of a graveled driveway and two small sheds. There is gated access to the side of the house where you will find a paved patio with stone wall and rear garden. The garden is laid with grass with a selection of mature trees and shrubbery providing privacy.
