Georgian Farmhouse - Cuatro Habitaciones Villa, Capacidad 8

This Georgian farmhouse offers a perfect retreat for a family looking to escape to the country. Furnished in a traditional farmhouse style, the property offers comfortable and cosy accommodation for a group of up to 8 guests. With a large drawing room, elegant dining room and a country-style kitchen with breakfasting area, there is plenty of room for everyone. Whilst there is one shower room at ground level, all the other bathrooms and bedrooms are to be found on the first floor.

Entering via the courtyard through the back door, brings you into the L-shaped hallway, with stairs to the floor above. The drawing room has windows on three sides including doors to the terrace, an open fireplace with a basket of logs supplied to make this a relaxing family room to read or browse the selection of books and DVDs or play the grand piano.  The entrance hall has some seating to take advantage of the warm sun coming through the windows. There is also a utility/shower room and outer hallway for coats.

The covered parking leads to three outbuildings. A boot room, store room and large games room. This contains a three quarter sized billiard table, stereo and seating area around an open fireplace. Accessible by a ladder on the floor above is a table tennis table and darts, as well as a second television and DVD player.

The kitchen is the hub of this house and one where everyone will gather. There is a traditional Rayburn cooker as well as an integrated electric hob and oven, so you can choose one or both ways to cater to your group. The kitchen area is in a classic U-shape making it ideal for preparing meals, with plenty of worktop space and storage.

In true classic country kitchen style, there is a table and chairs where up to 8 people can be seated, where breakfasts, tea or informal suppers can be served. Access from the kitchen to a sheltered terrace allows for meals to be served al fresco in the summer months. The dining room is an elegant room and can easily accommodate the group in comfort.

Outside there is a tennis court and a rustic external games room complete with snooker table. With wonderful views across the sloping fields, this charming large holiday home enjoys good light, which is enhanced by large windows in the sitting room. It is well presented and is an ideal holiday venue for all the family.

Location:

The covered parking leads to three outbuildings. A boot room, storeroom and large games room. This contains a three quarter sized billiard table, stereo and seating area around an open fireplace. Accessible by a ladder on the floor above is a table tennis table and darts, as well as a second television and DVD player.

There's plenty of space in the grounds for children and dogs to romp, with some of the garden enclosed which is always an added bonus for pet owners and families with very young children. There's mostly lawn to the front and side of the house and built into the L shape of the building is a sheltered terrace (which can be accessed from the kitchen) which is a great spot for al fresco entertainment.

A pretty burn (or stream) meanders its way through the garden (it's not enclosed) across which is the tennis court, accessed via a simple bridge. Lots of outdoor activity to keep groups occupied weather permitting.  

There's plenty of parking in the courtyard area. Being located on a farm, guests will need to be aware of farm traffic passing the property when they are coming and going as well as keeping children away from playing in that area.  

Galloway Forest Park is nearby there is plenty to entertain in the way of activities, including walking, biking and horse riding. Loch Ken offers a range of water sport activities. For those looking for some sites of interest, there are Threave Castle and Cardoness Castle. Bladnoch Distillery is the nearest distillery.

Located 56 miles from Carlisle and 4.5 miles from Castle Douglas, this beautiful country farmhouse is perfect for exploring the southern regions of Scotland. Castle Douglas has a major supermarket, with a further selection in Dumfries, 21 miles beyond.
