This spacious detached property sits in the centre of Kippford, yet tucked away off the main street. An ‘upside-down’ house, there are five steps up to the entrance, with a small porch opening into the hall. Off the hallway on the ground floor, there are two bedrooms (a queen and a king). Both are bright, contemporary rooms. Along the hallway at the bottom of the stairs, there is a family bathroom with a free-standing bath and a large walk-in shower. Across the hallway is the kitchen/diner. The kitchen is well equipped and offers a social place to gather and make plans for your time here, with French windows opening to the front. There is a small utility area at the back door, where you will find a useful washing machine and tumble dryer. Head up the staircase to the first floor and there is a master king bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and access to a large balcony, which offers the perfect spot to read a good book in the sunshine or stargaze in the evening. The lounge has been given pride of place in the house, with inspiring views across the water, comfy settees and a piano, so if you have any pianists with you, cue a sing-along! The lounge has French doors out onto the shared balcony, with the final king bedroom next door.
Outside, to the rear of the house and down just one step, you’ll find a private patio area with views into the woodland. There’s a private hot tub with a seating area for you to enjoy cosy times together. It’s a great spot to enjoy a coffee and breakfast while listening to the bird song or enjoying cool evening drinks.
