Westwater Cottage, Langholm, DG13

Westwater Cottage is a traditional three bedroom detached stone cottage, which has been extended in the past several times to offer spacious and flexible accommodation across a single storey. The cottage has been lovingly upgraded by the current owners for the past 12 years, and with agricultural land extending to roughly 7 acres, the property would be perfect for equestrian buyers or lifestyle farmers.

The living room features a woodburning stove set on a slate hearth with brick surround and original wooden flooring. Positioned in the centre of the property, the living room is perfect for entertaining the family.

The kitchen extension was completed about 17 years ago and now offers a fantastic, expansive space for cooking and dining. With an L-shape of wooden kitchen cabinets, with new solid timber worktops, the kitchen offers flexible space for moving around and storage. Featuring a modern Bosch oven and hob with overhead extractor, the kitchen also incudes an integrated dishwasher, large pantry cupboard and black composite sink with mixer tap. Views of your own private land can be enjoyed from the window above the sink. Double glazed patio doors open onto a newly laid Indian sandstone patio.

The generous primary bedroom is complete with a range of mirrored wardrobes to the walls, wooden flooring and an alcove with fitted shelving. The highlight of the primary bedroom is the secret ensuite which is found by sliding open the wardrobe doors to reveal a modern bathroom comprising of a three piece suite with his and hers vanity basins

Towards the back of the house the corridor continues from the living room to the remainder of the ground floor accommodation. There are two further bedrooms with the largest bedroom located at the rear. The family bathroom comprises a large walk-in electric power shower with rainwater head, WC and hand wash basin. There are fitted cupboards along one wall and this is where the hot water pressure tank is stored. There is an external door from the hallway for access to the rear yard and a stone built outhouse which has been transformed into a utility store.

Externally the owners have erected new fencing at the front of the property with double wooden gates which open onto a graveled driveway. There is no shortage of parking at Westwater Cottage with a detached single garage benefitting from an up and over door and additional parking available on the land to the right. There are sections of stone walling at the rear and side of the cottage and a large garden area which is laid to grass, complete with a large shed and lounging area. The sandstone patio extends to the back of the property where the owners have created a private haven, featuring a purpose built garden bar and hot tub.

The Land

The land extends to approximately 7 acres and is in two separate parcels. The largest field benefits from good roadside access, is relatively flat and has a natural watercourse running through. The land is stock proof and has been actively grazed. The stock will be removed upon completion of sale. The second parcel of land has a rough track which separates it from the larger field. This area of land requires improvement however lends itself to the possibility of erecting stables or the installation of a horse riding area, subject to necessary planning consents.

Westwater Cottage is a rare opportunity and would suit equestrian buyers or those looking to establish a smallholding and therefore viewings are highly recommended to appreciate everything this property has to offer.
