Longwood is a superb, detached bungalow set in just under 1.5 acres of beautiful garden grounds and woodland, and enjoys a semi-rural location that is still highly accessible to Edinburgh and Carlisle, with a high level of privacy.

Built of traditional construction, the house offers bright, well-proportioned rooms, a flexible layout and high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout, with a stylish interior.

The accommodation comprises of a generous hallway, sitting room, dining room/bedroom 4, modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room, three bedrooms (one en-suite), a family shower room, cloakroom/WC and a rear porch. There is excellent storage throughout.

The extensive grounds include a delightful area of woodland, lawns, gravel paths, patios for al fresco entertaining and a generous private driveway that leads to the detached double garage.

The cloakroom/ WC is located just off the hall by the entrance vestibule.

The sitting room enjoys the most fantastic views over Moffat and beyond and is flooded in natural light via windows on three elevations. There is a wood burning stove set on a slate hearth, under a timber mantel. The adjacent dining room is well-proportioned, and boasts sliding patio doors to outside, and a fitted cupboard. This room could easily be utilised as a fourth bedroom if desired.

The kitchen was upgraded in 2017 and offers an excellent range of fitted units with Staron granite effect worksurfaces, under mount sink with mixer tap and a shelved pantry cupboard. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, Neff double oven, washing machine, tumble drier and dishwasher, and a Bosch induction hob. The room enjoys a dual aspect and has ample room for a table and chairs. A door from the kitchen leads to a useful rear porch/boot room, which in turn has access to the garden.

All bedrooms enjoy an abundance of light. The principal bedroom has an array of fitted wardrobes and a large window giving extensive views. In addition, there is a contemporary en-suite shower room comprising an electric Aqualisa shower, WC and wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. There is also a heated towel rail, tile effect walls and a window to the rear.

The second bedroom is a generous double bedroom, with built in wardrobes and a dual aspect, and the third bedroom is a small double/large single room, with fantastic views. This room is presently used as a snug.

It is worth noting that in recent years the property has benefited from new doors and radiators throughout, a new electrical consumer unit was installed in 2016 and a new boiler was installed in 2019.
