The property

McEwan Fraser Legal are delighted to offer to the market ''Bridge End'' an utterly charming and unique two-bed period cottage, set near the popular village of Gretna, in the Scottish borders area of Dumfries and Galloway. The captivating property originally dates back to the 1850s and has a history behind it, now lost somewhere in the ''mist of time''. Beautifully nestled within a quiet location, next to a charming stone bridge, with the ''Rae Burn'' gently making its way past, it's surrounded by stunning countryside. Rarely do properties with such character, charm, and appeal come to the market, it couldn’t be more picturesque or peaceful. The property is set out over two levels, with a garage and parking to the road level and front aspect. The accommodation comprises a spacious kitchen/diner with windows flooding the room with light. There's a pantry and ample space for a dining table, with the feature log-burner fireplace taking centre stage. The area is welcoming with a range of units with an electric oven and hob, and ample space for a free-standing washing machine and fridge freezer. Appliances may be available by separate negotiation. The entrance hallway is a great size and affords space to be used as a formal dining room or a home office if required. The large lounge is very relaxing and the large capacity log burner will keep the room warm and comfortable throughout the year. The bathroom has a white suite with a Bath and a tap-fed shower attachment. There are two bedrooms in this home, both have ample space for free-standing furniture and plenty of natural light. The cottage is kept warm and comfortable via double glazing and oil-fired central heating. Parking is plentiful, adjacent to the garage. The garden grounds are extensive and beautifully landscaped. There are a number of polytunnels, sheds and a Summerhouse. The relaxation afforded by the garden area whilst sitting next to the gentle ''Ray Burn'' is very appealing, and there may be an opportunity to develop the space to serve many needs of the new owners. The property just oozes timeless charm and is an ideal home for any couple or small family, or even a ‘canny’ buy-to-let investor looking for a completely unique investment opportunity. Given the delightful and ever-rare countryside location, this is a first-class holiday let business opportunity or bolt-hole staycation home. Owned for the last 55 years of occupation by the current owner points to the property's enduring appeal as a fantastic place to live. Early viewing is advised for this incredibly appealing piece of heaven.
