Menu
Honeysuckle Cottage is a traditional 1 ½ storey detached Galloway cottage located in a rural and tranquil area located a short distance from Gatehouse of Fleet. This charming home benefits from two bright and spacious reception rooms and 3 bedrooms.
The current owners have extended the property by creating a delightful garden room, with solid oak woodwork, vaulted ceiling and under floor heating. This light and airy reception space enjoys a wrap round view across the garden and neighbouring farmland to the hills beyond.
Gatehouse of Fleet is an active community and benefits from many local amenities, such as a primary school, shops, library and Health Centre. Within the wider area, there are many beautiful sandy beaches and rocky coves within easy reach, and equally dramatic inland scenery, with magnificent hills, glens, and lochs.
Within Gatehouse there are active sports clubs (for example bowling, snooker or golf) and a wide variety of outdoor pursuits can be enjoyed in the area, including sailing, fishing, golf, cycling and hill walking.
