Owl Rock, Riverview Park, Kippford, Dalbeattie, Dumfries and Galloway, DG5

Riverview Park is a private development of timber log houses overlooking the village of Kippford. Kippford is perennially popular, featuring two inns (serving meals and local ales), the RYA award-winning Solway Sailing Club, a cafe/gift shop, village hall, an RNLI station, nine-hole golf course, and a pottery. The small village of Colvend, just 2.5 miles along the A710, is home to an excellent village store, cafe, and the highest-rated primary school along the Solway Coast. A couple of miles along the coast is Sandyhills, which has one of the best sandy beaches locally, and is home to the eighteen-hole Colvend golf course. The nearby town of Dalbeattie has a useful range of shops, cafes, hotels, restaurants, veterinary services, primary and secondary schools, health centre, solicitors, and a park. Castle Douglas, a market town known as Dumfries and Galloway’s Food Town, has in addition, many independent retailers, a thriving livestock market, and an eighteen-hole golf course. The regional capital, Dumfries, (around 18 miles east) provides a wider range of services including a major hospital, the Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary. The town, once the home of the National Bard and Ploughman Poet Rabbie Burns, is now home to the Crichton campuses of Glasgow University and the University of the West of Scotland.

Description
Owl Rock is the original log house in the development and benefits from a larger than average plot size, as well as a large double garage with workshop underneath. The large sitting room is of double height and has striking cathedral windows which take full advantage of the views of the garden and the estuary beyond. A log burner style gas stove sits in the middle of the window area providing a cosy feel and focal point for colder evenings. Stairs lead up from the sitting room to a galleried landing which also takes advantage of the light and views from the cathedral window. A well-equipped fitted kitchen leads into the dining room, which is ideal for both family occasions and entertaining guests. Patio doors lead out to one of the two verandas from here, giving extra entertaining space in the summer months.
The master bedroom suite features patio doors to the second veranda as well as a generous en suite bathroom with spa bath, and a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room. Also on the ground floor is the fourth bedroom, which has been used as a study but could easily be utilised as sleeping accommodation. A handy cloakroom WC sits across the hallway. Upstairs are two further bedrooms with superb eaves storage tucked behind clever folding doors. Further eaves storage is available off the landing. The shower room sits mid-landing and sports a large walk-in shower. Oil-fired central heating provides underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the first floor.
The double garage is accessed from outside via two garage doors, one up-and-over and one electric. Leading off one side of the interior is the large workshop, ideal for hobbies, garden equipment and storage. Surrounded on all sides by mature garden ground, with colour and interest all year round, Owl Rock is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home in a very attractive and sought-after development.
