The Steadings - A Versatile Family Home in the Heart of Dumfries & Galloway

Tucked on the edge of the picturesque village of Haugh of Urr, The Steadings is a spacious and adaptable 4/5 bedroom home offering countryside charm with modern convenience. Thoughtfully laid out and full of character, this property is ideal for families, remote workers, or anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to nearby towns.

Step through the front door into a welcoming lounge, complete with a wood-burning stove and built-in storage. To the left, the modern kitchen/diner features sleek wall and base units, an integrated dishwasher, plumbing for a washing machine, and a Beko range cooker with electric hob, double oven, and grill. Double-aspect windows and a side door flood the space with natural light.

From the lounge, a hallway leads to a stylish downstairs bathroom with bath and overhead shower, WC, and wash hand basin with built-in storage. Adjacent is a second sitting room that could easily serve as a ground-floor double bedroom, overlooking the garden. A further single room offers flexibility as a home office or nursery.

Upstairs, wooden stairs open onto a generous landing with a Velux window and space for a reading nook or quiet retreat. To the left is a single bedroom with Velux window, and a large double room currently used as a family room with wardrobe space. Across the landing, you'll find a storage cupboard, a second family bathroom with bath and overhead shower, WC, and vanity storage, and another double bedroom with Velux and front-facing window, plus loft access.

Outside, the front garden is a private haven, mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature bushes and plants that offer natural screening. Please note: the entrance driveway has a tight turn, and may not accommodate larger vans.
