We previously ran 'Fonthill' as a holiday house for over 20 years, but have decided to move into it ourselves, on a permanent basis. We are now offering our new property to holiday visitors.

'2 Kippford Slipway' is a newly built house, nestled in an elevated position offering breathtaking views over the Urr estuary, within the village of Kippford. The house is designed to maximise natural light and views.

Accessed via a private road, opposite the public slipway and jetty, the property provides parking for 2-3 cars. The ground floor has a spacious entrance hall, with plenty of room for coats and boots, leading to an inner hallway that connects the upper and lower levels via two short staircases. This floor also includes a utility room as well as a small study area.

The top floor is a bright, open-plan living space designed to make the most of the beautiful estuary views. Cathedral-style windows flood the area with natural light, while the modern, fully equipped kitchen leads into a spacious dining and sitting area, with Smart TV. A glazed door leads to a balcony, offering the perfect spot to further enjoy the view. This floor also includes a cloakroom with a WC.

Watersport's on the estuary can be viewed from the comfort of the house, as can 'crabbing' on the jetty directly opposite. Birdwatchers will enjoy the many birds that inhabit and visit the estuary, along with other wildlife.

On the lower floor, there are three bedrooms. The master bedroom (double) features an ensuite shower room and patio doors leading to a spacious enclosed terrace, shared with the adjacent twin bedroom; also having its own patio door and a Smart TV. A second (king) bedroom includes an ensuite shower room and Smart TV, while an additional family bathroom with a bath with shower over serves the twin bedroom.

With triple glazing and underfloor heating, the house offers year-round comfort. Outside, the garden is beautifully landscaped with planters and a lawned area, with table and chairs in the summer.

Ideally situated in the heart of the village of Kippford, the property is just a short stroll from two local pubs and ‘The Ark'; a tea room and shop offering ice creams and some groceries.

Leaving the front door there is direct access to coastal and forest walks and a jetty from which to launch your kayak, paddle board or other water craft. The forest behind the house lends itself to mountain biking and in Dalbeattie there are world class bike trails.
