Nestled in the rolling Galloway hills, the Old School is a luxury 4 bedroomed, detached, Victorian former school which has been renovated to a high standard and extended to form a spacious, modern, light and airey cottage. With all the comforts of home and beautiful views, the house has a large, well appointed kitchen/dining room with a lovely pillar box
red Aga, a rangemaster range cooker and a sleek
black glass side-by-side American fridge. The large,
comfortable living room has a Jotul wood-burning
stove, beautiful views across the valley and french
windows leading to the central courtyard garden.
For rainy days the lounge has a large LCD TV, DVD,
Wii with various games, books & games
aplenty, and wireless internet access.
The master bedroom offers the choice of two single beds or
a superking, has a lovely en suite shower room, an LCD TV
and views into the courtyard garden. Of the other three
bedrooms (two doubles, one king) two of the rooms have
LCD TVs and the other accesses the sunroom. All have
VERY comfy beds and offer lovely views into the large,
surrounding garden and the beautiful, rolling countryside
beyond. The main family bathroom has a whirlpool bath
and all the soft, fluffy towels you could need are included.
There is also a very convenient wc near the reception areas.
The private, central courtyard garden is a riot of colour and a sun-trap in
summer and is supplied with appropriate garden furniture.
The surrounding large garden has mature shrubs, 5 miles from Dumfries
town centre, in a tranquil, rural setting.
The house is ideally situated to explore Southwest and Central Scotland,
Northern Ireland and Northern England. But with all the Old School has
on hand, you may just want to stay home and relax!
