DESCRIPTION
Originally a smaller Shepherds Cottage dating from 1870s which has been added to over generations. Lower Dalveen cottage is located in a spectacular part of the Dumfries and Galloway countryside, providing a delightful blend of both traditional cottage & contemporary style in addition to offering many desirable ‘lifestyle living’ qualities. The stunning contemporary extension undoubtedly provides the heart of the home offering the desirable open plan living yet with those traditional touches including stunning exposed beams within the full height vaulted ceiling, complemented further with landscape views through the full height eastern facing window. Rustic fitted kitchen with gas cooker and integrated oven to one end. Stunning Central Island with dining area to the centre of the space and a wood burning stove at the other end allowing a real sociable/multi-functional space. The hallway then connects to the Utility Room housing the Worcester boiler, washing machine and drier, third bedroom and modern fitted bathroom with modern walk in shower. In the original part of the cottage, a more formal living room provides a charming space to relax with a real cottage feel and a brick built fireplace housing LPG fire, and ceiling beams. Access to the front porch and two larger double bedrooms each with a fireplace is from this space.
Adjoining studio space allows a flexible space which the new owner can best utilise for their specific needs together with the barn. Either could easily be adapted to provide home office/hobby space. Lower Dalveen Cottage provides a highly attractive lifestyle property in a peaceful location within stunning surroundings with outbuildings and generous outside space.
