Bennan Lodge, Mossdale, Castle Douglas, Kirkcudbrightshire, DG7 2NG

The property

A unique opportunity has arisen to purchase Bennan Lodge, a beautifully presented four bedroom detached bungalow, formerly a Forestry Commission office, surrounded by stunning garden grounds in an idyllic rural location. A perfect country retreat, Bennan Lodge is situated in a tranquil setting on the edge of the Galloway Forest Park, 11 miles from the market town of Castle Douglas. Internally, Bennan Lodge offers superb family accommodation with the large conservatory overlooking the garden a real bonus. The attractive garden grounds extending to approximately 10 acres are a haven for birds and wildlife, the large pond and views of the surrounding hills are particularly attractive features. The property also benefits from a large workshop and garage situated next to the parking area, ideal for keeping a mower, garden tools and general storage. Bennan Lodge is accessed from the road by a gated driveway and there is ample parking for several vehicles. Purchasers may be interested to note that planning was approved in the past for a dwelling house sited in the garden at Bennan Lodge but this has since lapsed and prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries as to whether this can be renewed. Plans can be viewed at Cavers & Co. The nearby market town of Castle Douglas is known as Scotland's Food Town and has a variety of individual shops, restaurants and cafes offering an excellent selection of food and services. The town also benefits from both primary and secondary schools, supermarkets, health centre, library, swimming pool and golf course amongst its other varied services and pursuits. The region of Dumfries and Galloway is one of natural beauty and is popular with outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore its beautiful sandy beaches and rocky coves and equally dramatic inland scenery of the Galloway Forest Parks. d Dining Kitchen Conservatory Living Room / Bedroom 4 Three Bedrooms Bathroom Shower Room Large garden Ample parking for several vehicles rating - E w Entrance Vestibule Entrance vestibule leading to hall UPVC glazed door; window to side.
