2 bed cottage for sale

Dundorran, Eaglesfield DG11

Dundorran is a traditional, detached two/three bedroom cottage dated from around 1860 which has been internally reconfigured, re-wired and extended since it was last purchased. This beautiful and unique property is primarily constructed of solid sandstone under a pitched slate roof with brick extension and part flat roof to the rear. The property offers an excellent opportunity for someone searching for a turn-key home in a quiet and pleasant village. The property briefly comprises a porch, kitchen/diner, living room, two double bedrooms, family bathroom, study/third bedroom, external utility room, patio and garden.

The property is accessed through the new bright and welcoming porch with large uPVC window before stepping into the modern kitchen/dining room. The kitchen features two skylights which flood the space with lots of natural light and a feature wall of exposed sandstone. The kitchen is fitted with modern floor units with granite worktops incorporating a deep Belfast sink with mixer tap and a lpg gas hob Rangemaster which is available by separate negotiation. There is ample room for a family sized dining table situated in the centre of the room which enjoys pleasant views through double French patio doors.

The living room boasts a cosy woodburning stove set in a brick fireplace making it the perfect room for evening entertainment. Another feature to note within the property are the original oak doors throughout which add a touch of character. Back through the kitchen to the other side of the house you’ll find two double sized bedrooms and the family bathroom. The family bathroom is modern decorated with wall panelling and complete with corner shower cubicle with electric shower and glass screen, freestanding bath, Savoy sink and WC and towel rail. Since the addition of the porch, the original front door is rarely used and the original hallway has been transformed into a delightful study/crafts room or it has the potential to be used as a third bedroom. There are several storage cupboards within the property and a loft hatch with gives access to a partially boarded attic.

Externally, Dundorran sits in a fairly large plot equating to approximately 0.25 acres with off-road parking available for a single vehicle and front garden primarily laid with loose stone. To the rear there is a sandstone patio off the kitchen with steps to the right to the external utility/boiler house. The boiler is located in a separate cupboard and the outbuilding has been transformed into a very useful utility space with power for white goods and integrated sink into the cabinets. There is also a separate toilet. The garden is a decent length and is currently laid with grass with several mature trees at the bottom of the garden and hedging either side to provide plenty of privacy. There are raised beds for planting and growing vegetables alongside a timber shed for storage. There is a field behind the garden which offers pleasant views. The garden is a blank canvas for green fingered owners.

This property has been lovingly maintained and viewings are highly recommended to appreciate everything this property has to offer.
