About this property

Annan 3.5 miles. A charming terraced cottage, in the rural hamlet of Powfoot, near Annan, on Scotland’s beautiful Solway Coast. With stunning views over the beach, towards the Lake District, this lovely coastal cottage is ideal for a family looking for a break away by the sea. There are two bedrooms, a twin and a king-size double, the larger of which enjoys superb coastal views across the sea to the Lakes and beyond. The ground floor comprises of a comfortable sitting room, which also faces the coast, complemented by a warming woodburning stove, and there’s also a well-equipped kitchen with a dining area.

The handy lockable bike storage and the enclosed garden are across an access road, so care should be taken when stepping out of the rear door. Once you reach the garden you’ll find a lawned area where the children can play in safety and you can enjoy a barbecue for those hazy summer days. You've also got a front garden with a lovely decked area and superb south-facing coastal views. This beachfront cottage sits across the road from Powfoot Beach, a striking stretch of sand and shingle, perfect for paddling, with a local coastal footpath nearby. Access to the beach directly in front of the property is via rough, narrow, tracks which can be slippy in some conditions, so care should be taken.

Easier access to the shore can be found a couple of hundred metres further west. There's also plenty of birdlife to observe at the splendid Caerlaverlock Castle and Nature Reserve. There is a shop at Queensberry Bay Holiday Park, less than a mile away along the coast, where you can pick up essentials for picnics, whilst the on-site spa is open to non-residents should you wish to indulge in a treatment or two. The town of Annan is 3.5 miles away and boasts a multitude of amenities, as well as a rich history dating back to Roman times, whilst Powfoot Golf Club offers an ideal mix of parkland and links holes, nestled within breathtaking scenery.

Cyclists can enjoy some of the renowned 7stanes mountain biking trails, as well as Sustrans Cycle Route 7, taking in miles and miles of beautiful scenery. From an afternoon at the beach to a morning in the Galloway Hills, there is something for everyone at this lovely coastal cottage. EPC Rating: Band D
