Property code: OC-W45317

This elegant bungalow enjoys a tranquil, rural setting just outside the quaint village of Laurieston. The holiday home offers a peaceful base for families and friends looking to explore the stunning Dumfries and Galloway landscape, including the network of tracks and trails through Galloway Forest Park. You’ll also be just 6 miles from the vibrant market town of Castle Douglas.

The detached bungalow has been beautifully decorated and features antique-style furniture and ornate fixtures and fittings. From the hallway, head through to the spacious kitchen, where you’ll find everything needed for a self-catering getaway, along with a choice of informal dining areas at the table or breakfast bar. Just off the kitchen is a handy utility room. The bright, open-plan lounge/diner is the social hub of the house. Spend time here, enjoying cosy movie nights in front of the Smart TV with the wood burner crackling in the background, or gather at the banquet-style dining table for special mealtimes with panoramic countryside views. A second lounge with a Smart TV provides an alternative spot for relaxation (along with a sofa bed to accommodate two extra guests if required), and there’s also a sun porch – the perfect place for a morning coffee. The bungalow has two inviting bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities. Outside, take in your spectacular surroundings as you dine alfresco on the patio in the enclosed garden. The property has private parking for three cars.

Castle Douglas makes a great day out. Known as the region’s foodie capital, you’ll find over 50 independent eateries and artisan shops selling delicious local produce. For a day of outdoor adventure, journey to the Galloway Activity Centre on the banks of Loch Ken (12 miles). Alternatively, for a day at the coast, head 20 miles south to explore the idyllic beaches of Rockcliffe or Sandyhills.
