3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Kindeloch, New Abbey, Dumfries DG2

Overview

Kindeloch is an immaculately presented detached bungalow set in a slightly elevated position amidst rolling countryside, with superb views from nearly every direction.

Situated close to the charming conservation village of New Abbey, the property offers stunning views of Loch Kindar, the Solway Firth, and the imposing Criffel mountain as the backdrop.

Kindeloch has been fully refurbished by the present owners and is currently run as a highly succesful holiday let, but would equally make an ideal permanent residence. There is also scope to create first floor accommodation in the large loft space, subject to the necessary planning consents. The owner has architect's drawings to hand, to show that a loft conversion would need little work and could provide an additional two bedrooms and bathrooms.

Accommodation

A solid timber front door opens into the vestibule, with its tiled floor and where a glazed inner door leads into the reception hall.

The hall offers a wood effect floor, a deep cloaks cupboard and two additional storage cupboards. There is a hatch to the loft, with built in ladder.

The large sitting room enjoys a dual aspect via a large picture window to the front elevation and a smaller window to the gable end, providing not only views over Kindar Loch, but also over the Solway Firth, which is quite remarkable. There is a wood effect floor and a modern wood burning stove. Adjacent to the sitting room, accessed via this room or via the hall, is the impressive kitchen/dining room.

The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of cabinets and complementary worksurfaces. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, electric oven, grill and induction hob with extractor hood over. There is a 1 1⁄2 bowl sink and drainer with mixer tap, and space for a washing machine. This room is flooded with natural light and enjoys a dual aspect, with large windows offering fabulous views over the garden, out to sea and up towards Criffel. There is ample space for dining furniture. A door from the kitchen leads to a small rear vestibule, providing a storage cupboard and access to the rear garden.

There are three well-proportioned bedrooms in total. Two of the double bedrooms boast wood effect floors and modern ensuite shower rooms, and the third bedroom is presently set up with twin single beds but would fit a double bed. The family bathroom comprises a superb free standing contemporary bath with handheld shower attachment, WC, a feature wash hand basin set in an oak vanity unit, and a heated towel rail/radiator.
