Douglas Cottage, Eaglesfield, DG11

C&D Rural are proud to market this stunning, two bedroom, detached cottage estimated to date back to the early 1800s. The cottage is of sandstone construction and features two spacious bedrooms, shower room, modern kitchen with open plan living/dining area, sun room and private rear garden. The property is being sold with vacant possession and would suit a range of buyers including first time buyers, retirees or investors looking to add to their rental portfolio.

The Accommodation

The front door opens into a spacious and bright hallway with doors leading to the kitchen, bedrooms and shower room. The kitchen is lovely and bright, complete with a range of complimentary modern kitchen units with quartz stone worktops, an integrated BOSCH electric hob, electric oven and single bowl drainer sink with mixer tap. The kitchen features tiled flooring which flows seamlessly into the open plan living area, offering comfort and relaxation. A beautiful woodburning stove sits in the corner of this room, perfect for colder nights during the winter time.

The rear of the property was extended around 2012 to offer a gorgeous sun room, with oak effect laminate flooring, glass roof and bi-fold doors which lead directly to the decking and garden. This area is currently used for dining or is perfect for entertaining family and friends. A new wall mounted heater has recently been installed. At the other side of the property you’ll find two good sized double bedrooms and the family shower room. Both bedrooms are laid with laminate flooring and large enough for freestanding wardrobes. The second bedroom has access to the loft and there is a velux window for allowing natural light. The shower room features a shower cubicle with electric shower, wall mounted wash hand basin and WC.

Externally there is parking at the front gable end for one vehicle and there is additional parking available on the main road. The property is accessed from the main road via a shared track with the property next door. The cottage is tucked away nicely and for buyers searching for a smaller home with plenty of privacy, Douglas Cottage should be at the top of their list. The property is well fenced and there is gated access to the rear garden from the front of the cottage. The garden is a real sun trap and benefits from exceptional views of the countryside at the rear. Decking has been fitted off the sun room and paved steps lead to a raised lawn. There is a log store at the top of the garden. The owners are prepared to sell the hot tub and any items/furniture in the property by separate negotiation.
