5 bed detached house for sale

38 Dalbeattie Road, Dumfries DG2

With gorgeous views from almost every room, 38 Dalbeattie Road is excellently positioned and comprises a detached family home with ample parking and garaging. The property is quite unique in that while it is within walking distance of the hospital and town centre, it has views over the golf course and surrounding rolling hills to the rear, giving it a countryside feel while sat in the landscaped back garden.

The property was originally built in the 1920’s and has undergone extensive renovation works during the present ownership, to include plumbing, heating, electrics, bathrooms, doors, floors and some new windows, and is in turnkey condition throughout. There are high quality fixtures and fittings, which blend with the restored and retained original features.

Accommodation:

The front door opens into a tiled vestibule, with glazed inner door leading into the reception hall. This welcoming space is filled with natural light via a large landing window and boasts polished restored wooden flooring (also evident in the sitting room and dining room). The impressive staircase features the original balustrade and there is a useful, deep understair cupboard.

There are two generous reception rooms. The sitting room enjoys a dual aspect and therefore benefits from sun all day, with French doors also opening out to the decking and garden. There is a very attractive wood floor and a reclaimed solid wood mantelpiece surrounding the multi-fuel stove. The adjacent dining room is very well-proportioned and enjoys views over the garden and beyond, with double, glazed internal doors leading through to the kitchen, creating an excellent ‘flow’.

The kitchen is fitted with a great range of solid wood cabinets and complementary worksurfaces. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, and there is a Rangemaster oven and a ceramic sink. Sliding patio doors lead directly out to the decking, making alfresco entertaining easy. Just off the kitchen is a useful utility room and a separate pantry.

A stylish cloakroom with WC off boasts a ‘secret’ room beyond it, accessed from behind the tall mirror. This hidden room is currently used as a hobby/craft room, featuring a large window to the front elevation and would make the perfect fifth bedroom.

Upstairs there are four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite is very spacious and has fantastic views over the garden, golf course and beyond to the surrounding countryside. The contemporary en-suite shower room comprises a generous shower cubicle, attractive tiled floor, WC, heated towel rail and a wash hand basin set in a vanity unit.

Two of the additional double bedrooms feature the same impressive views over the garden and golf course, and the fourth bedroom, presently used as an office, has a large window to the front elevation. The family shower room features contemporary wallpaper, an attractive tiled floor, spacious walk-in shower, WC, heated towel rail and wash hand basin set in a vanity unit.

It is worth noting that access to the attic is gained from the galleried first floor landing. There is a built-in ladder and the attic is partially boarded and insulated.

Outside

To the front of the property is a gravel driveway and a detached garage, with up and over door, power and light and EV charger.

The front garden is bordered by a hedge ensuring privacy and stocked with mature and established plants.

The rear garden is a gardener’s paradise. The present owners are very keen gardeners and have created a very special and tranquil garden, with many areas to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. At the top of the garden is the decking that is attached to the house, and which offers a lovely suntrap and great views. There are areas of lawn, colourful and established borders and winding pathways through the garden. There is a lovely timber gazebo, ideal for entertaining and positioned to catch the evening sun, a pond, raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse, shed, and a log store.
