Property code: 81129

A beautiful, detached Victorian-style villa which has been tastefully refurbished with a contemporary feel, situated in the hamlet of Colvend on the outskirts of the seaside village of Sandyhills.

This lovingly restored holiday home in scenic Dumfries and Galloway is perfect for keen bikers, golfers and sailing enthusiasts, as well as those who just want to switch off and get away from reality. With views towards White Loch, discover a wonderful array of forest, coastal and lochside walks from the doorstep, before returning walk weary to relax amongst country-cottage styling with the added bonus of underfloor heating.

 

Keeping the character of the original, stone cottage, find a blend of elegant styling, traditional touches and luxury modern features ensuring a wonderfully comfortable stay. Soft neutral tones, wooden details and flagged floors reflect the surrounding natural environment, whilst cream walls and skylights in the kitchen give a sense of space and light.

 

Enter the cottage into the large, bright open-plan lounge/kitchen, a fabulous social space with a wood burner and comfortable seating to relax and catch up. Gather everyone together for a delicious, home-cooked meal at the dining table, before retiring to the more formal lounge where you can enjoy views towards White Loch. Settle on the sofa with a glass of wine in hand, warming your toes in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire and watch a movie. The contemporary styling continues in the bedrooms – wake rejuvenated and enjoy your morning cup of tea in the garden, drinking in the sights and sounds of the countryside.

 

Outside, the enclosed tiered garden has a lawn and patio area, a peaceful place to sit out, read a book and relax. In the evenings, sizzle up a BBQ and watch the children potter on the lawn as the sun sets on a great day. The village shop and seasonal tearoom is within walking distance so you can choose to eat in or out. There is lockable bike and golf club storage, and private parking on the gated drive for two cars.

We loved our stay at Loch View cottage. It's privacy cleanliness, comfort and everything you'll need for a home from home. It's a great base to visit interesting places like Caerlaverock Castle, New Abbey, Kirkcudbright, Merse Head RSPB beach (outstanding), Rockcliffe 10mins walk away and stunning. Kippford, beautiful. Enjoyed making happy memoriesRead more for our two teenagers and hopefully they will still want to come on holiday with us for the foreseeable! Thank you. X Hide

An attractive and exceptionally well equipped house with plenty of space. I would recommend this house for couples and families with older children or non mobile babies as I think Id be nervous of the stairs inside and out with small children.There is a useful village shop within walking distance but you have to drive into Kipford for any opportuniRead morety to eat and drink out.
