DESCRIPTIONAshwood is a deceptively spacious Victorian property with a unique chocolate box appeal. The current owners have maintained the property to a high level and have recently completed the installation of a traditional style kitchen which features a large corner pantry, built in double oven and microwave, integrated fridge freezer, integrated dishwasher, a five ring gas hob and traditional oil fired AGA which also heats the water. There is a 1 and a half bowl sink with instant boiling water tap. There is ample room for dining within the kitchen, however the property also offers a separate more formal dining space ideal for hosting friends and family. The large formal living room has a large bay window to the front and smaller window to the side allowing natural light to flood the room. A marble fire surround and hearth is home to an open fire which creates a focal point and cosy feel on winter’s nights. The smaller sitting room again has a large bay window and has a small yet powerful multi fuel stove. To the ground floor hallway there is a feature sky light and within the entrance vestibule there is the original floor tiles and the current owners have decorated the space to create a unique welcoming space. To the first floor there are four double bedrooms and a single bedroom which could be used as an office or study. Two of the double bedrooms have modern en-suite facilities and there is a large family bathroom with separate shower and bath. Ashwood offers good quality family accommodation over two floors in a desirable semi-rural location, the large workshop offers great opportunity for those with a particular want for extensive outdoor hobby/workshop space for pleasure or business.SITUATION Ashwood is located in the quiet Dumfriesshire village of Dornock which is conveniently located between Annan and Gretna.

The M6 motorway can be reached in approximately ten minutes whilst the main line railway station in Carlisle is only 25 minutes by road. The fastest train to London Euston takes approximately 3 ¼ hours. The Airports of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle are all within about one and a half hours’ drive. The area offers boundless opportunities for the outdoor enthusiasts with the Solway Firth being only a mile away.

There are a number of excellent golf courses nearby in addition to the 7 Stanes mountain bike centres of Ae, Newcastleton and Dalbeattie.
