2 Bed Cottage in Gatehouse Of Fleet

About this property

Set against a backdrop of Galloway’s rolling hills and enjoying an undisturbed garden with a small stream and large wildlife pond, this immaculate country cottage invites families and friends to get back to nature and experience a dose of tranquillity. The property is in a wonderful position just 2.5 miles from the coast, with walks along the mountainous headlands towards Carrick Beach (4 miles) along the captivating Solway Firth. It is within easy reach of Gatehouse of Fleet (3 miles) and Kirkcudbright (7.5 miles), both appealing holiday destinations in the area. From the former, explore the beautiful surroundings of Cally Woods (3 miles) and visit Cally Gardens (3.5 miles), a specialist plant centre boasting a treasure trove of exotic and hardy plants. For water sports and fishing, spend time on Loch Ken (17 miles), a sprawling loch on the brink of the mighty Galloway Forest Park (6 miles), another remarkable location offering plenty to see and do.

Mosey down a rough, unmade track to find this detached holiday home, stopping to take in the wonderful views surrounding it before stepping inside. Once indoors, discover a traditionally styled, ultra-comfortable home-from-home ready to offer you a warm welcome. The lounge boasts a handsome bay window with beautiful stained glass, plus a superb selection of comfortable seating options and a dining table for unforgettable mealtimes. The open fire adds a warm, cosy glow, and you’ve got a Smart TV and a wide selection of books and games to choose from when it’s time to settle down and relax. Off the lounge area, the kitchen features all the necessary appliances and plenty of workspace, along with a step down into the sunny conservatory, which offers additional seating and stunning garden views. The first of two bedrooms is located downstairs: a lovely double with soft, cosy bedding. Opposite it, the family bathroom is well designed, with a roll-top bath for a luxurious soak at the end of the day. Take the steps up to the first floor to discover the second bedroom, a twin with fantastic views.

When the sun shines, this property’s garden is what truly sets it apart from the rest. The woodland garden is a haven of beautiful flora and local wildlife, complete with a wildlife pond and a small stream with a bridge running over it. Outdoor furniture allows you to make the very most of this space, and a fire pit ensures you don’t have to rush inside the moment it gets cold. Ample private parking is also readily available.
