3 Bed in Lockerbie (oc-95861)

Sleeping six guests, this charming former gatehouse offers an array of splendid period features. Basking in a beautiful, rural position on the edge of woodland in a 9,000-acre country estate, the property has been sympathetically refurbished into a cosy but traditional family and dog-friendly bolthole. The immediate area offers fantastic walking routes with woodland and countryside trails to explore, as well as the River Annan, renowned for Salmon fishing. Hoddom Castle Caravan Park, boasting a seasonal pub and a golf course, is within a stroll of the property. The nearby villages of Ecclefechan and Dalton offer several popular eateries and a corner shop. Explore the stunning Solway Firth (7 miles) with 200 miles of spectacular rugged coastline, meanwhile, mountain bikers will be delighted with the 7stanes at Mabie Forest. The bustling market towns of Annan (4 miles), Lockerbie (6 miles) and Dumfries (14 miles) have excellent shopping and leisure facilities to enjoy.

Step inside this delightful period property into the unique and colourfully decorated turreted hallway, a perfect space to store your outdoor clothing, and venture through to the light and bright lounge. Situated in the lounge, and adding to its character, are the gatehouses’ original stone gate wheel and refurbished shutters. Relax on the comfortable sofas after a day out and watch a movie on the Smart TV. On those cooler evenings, enjoy cosy nights in front of the roaring wood burner. Next is the lovely dining room, ideal for family gatherings, followed by the bespoke well-equipped kitchen, the perfect space to cook up a storm. There is also a handy utility room next to the kitchen with direct access to the garden and parking area. Leading through the hall, you will find a beautifully decorated double bedroom and a modern, stylish shower room with a large shower cubicle and WC. Heading up the stairs, there is a spacious master double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and WC. Finally, completing this luxurious accommodation is the characterful twin bedroom with an exquisite circular window seat located in the property’s distinctive turret – a delight for guests of all ages.

Venturing outside to the garden, you’ll find a seating area for al fresco dining or evenings spent star gazing. There is ample off-road private parking for several cars and an electric, contactless car charging point (Additional charges apply, payable directly to owner.)
