DESCRIPTION
Jennygill offers a rarely available property with adjoining cottage in a highly desirable edge of town location just 3.8 miles from Dumfries. The elevated site affords stunning far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside. The property, constructed in 2002 offers spacious accommodation predominantly over one level, with an additional 2 bedrooms and bathroom to the first floor. Offering a fine balance of reception space and bedroom accommodation. In addition, the Kitchen with ample space for more informal dining creates a sociable space supported by large utility room housing the boiler for the oil fired central heating. The property further benefits from photovoltaic and thermal solar panels, contributing to power supply at Jennygill and the surplus fed back to the grid. Further, within the grounds sits a 9.5kw micro turbine which again provides monthly contributions from the power provided to the grid, all contributing to a favourable efficiency rating for Jennygill. The large bright multi aspect living room to the front of the home offers impressive far-reaching views with a feature fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove.
The cottage offers additional 2 bedroom detached accommodation lending perfectly to multi-generational living on the one site or providing additional income by way of letting the property out commercially. It would be possible to make the cottage more private from the main house by utilising the secondary access and fully enclosing an already loosely defined area. Beautifully finished throughout and offering oil fired underfloor heating and double glazing. Double doors, from the dining room, open to a patio area to the front, where the far-reaching views can again be enjoyed.
The area in all offers about 1.3 acres and further enhances the huge appeal of Jennygill as a lifestyle opportunity, offering great flexibility to the buyer as to how to utilise not only the accommodation space to fit their needs but also the abundance of external space.
