DIRECTIONSFrom Edinburgh, take the A701 south to Moffat. In Moffat turn left onto Eastgate. Continue onto Well Road and turn left onto Haywood Road. Whinney Knowe is at the very end of the street, on the left hand side.

From Glasgow take the M74 south before turning off at junction 15 following signs to Moffat. Follow the A701 north into Moffat. Once in Moffat, turn right onto Holm Street (A708). Continue along The Holm and over two mini roundabouts. Turn left onto Ballplay Road and, at the T-junction, turn right onto Well Road. Turn left onto Haywood Road.

SITUATIONWhinney Knowe is set within mature gardens at the end of Haywood Road, a leafy, quiet street on the edge of the former market town of Moffat. The town has its roots in tourism and agriculture. It grew from a modest village to a renowned spa town frequented by the Victorians and its accessible geographical position made it a popular market town, most notably for the wool trade, a history commemorated by the statue of a ram in the market place by the 19th century sculptor William Brodie.

There are excellent opportunities for country sports in the area, with tennis, golf, shooting and fishing available locally and hill walking in the nearby Annandale and Queensberry Hills and links to the Southern Upland Way. The town has a good range of quality shops and professional services, as well as hotels, restaurants, a golf course and a distinguished modern combined school offering nursery to sixth year studies. Dumfries, 21 miles to the south, is an active town which provides a wider range of facilities, including a hospital, a retail park, supermarkets, sports clubs and further professional services.

Moffat is well positioned for the road network being only 1½ miles away from the M74, the main route between England and Scotland. The motorway connects the town to both Glasgow to the north and the M6, Carlisle and England to the south. The A701 and A702 provide good links to the east of Scotland. Lockerbie (17 miles) has a mainline station giving a train link to both Edinburgh and Glasgow and to the south.

DESCRIPTIONWhinney Knowe is a nicely proportioned detached property built in 1871. It is constructed of stone under a pitched slate roof. Over the past few years the property has been gradually renovated to create a very well appointed family home. Aside from general cosmetic works, the renovations included replacing window frames and sills, reroofing the property and creating an en suite shower room for the master bedroom.

Accommodation The front door opens into a vestibule which has been floored in slate tiles. A partially glazed door and side panels provide natural light to the reception hall which runs centrally through the house. The drawing room has a painted timber floor and the spectacular feature of a tall gilt framed mirror. This room is dual aspect with a bay window overlooking the garden and French doors opening onto the decked terrace. A multi-fuel stove sits in the fireplace on a slate hearth. The dining room is across the hall from the drawing room. It has an open fire and a press set into the wall. Adjacent to this is the sitting room which has a wood burning stove and working shutters on the windows. The study is another comfortable room. It is floored with a sisal carpet and has a multi-fuel stove. Fitted book cases line two of the walls.

The kitchen is positioned at the end of the hall. It has bespoke timber cabinets crafted by a local cabinet maker and incorporates a Belfast sink, a Smeg range with six gas rings and two ovens with extractor fan above, a combination oven with microwave and grill, and a dishwasher. There is a central island with an unhoned granite worktop and a dining area. A door leads through to the utility room and back door. The utility room has further fitted units, a drying pulley, a sink and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A cupboard houses the boiler. There is a WC off the utility room and a hidden cupboard which houses the hot water cylinder. The back hall is floored with replica limestone flagstones.

An elegant staircase leads up to the sleeping accommodation on the first floor which is on split levels. The large family bathroom has been furnished with Fired Earth fittings and has a free standing bath, quadrant shower, ceramic wash stand, heated towel rail and WC. There are four bedrooms. Bedroom 2 and the master bedroom are particularly spacious, both with dormer windows and good eaves storage. The master bedroom also has an en suite shower room with a quadrant shower, WC, wash basin and heated towel rail.

GARDENS AND GROUNDSAn archway shrouded in roses leads to the front door of the house which has pretty, mature gardens which wrap around it entirely with a sunny and sheltered patio, deck and kitchen garden with raised beds to the rear. Mature deciduous trees, rhododendrons and a beech hedge bound a central lawn.

The driveway has in and out entrances and leads to a gravel parking area by the garage and log store.
