DESCRIPTION <br />Lochanlea provides an appealing family home in the heart of the popular village of Crossmichael, which nestles next to Loch Ken. Extensive accommodation over two floors with a natural split to offer further 1 bedroom annexe accommodation for extended family/multi-generational living. A connecting door on first floor level can combine or separate the accommodation. Lochanlea enjoys beautiful first floor views over the Loch and to the countryside beyond. The property as a whole is deceptively large and offers a well balanced family home with a fine proportion of reception and bedroom space as well as the annexe addition. To the rear of the ground floor is an L-shaped sociable Kitchen/Living/Dining area, perfect for family life or entertaining, to the front of the property is the living room and an additional reception/play room/bedroom together with the principal bathroom. The first floor office/study enjoys stunning Loch views and lends itself perfectly to those wishing to have the space from which to work from home. Further the property offers two bedrooms and spacious master bedroom with en suite shower and dressing area. From the dressing area the connecting door leads through to the one bedroom annexe. The annexe is perfectly set up as a standalone one bedroom accommodation space for a relative/family member or indeed for additional earning potential should the new owner wish to explore that avenue (subject to change of use/relevant permissions). The property benefits from gas fired central heating with a boiler for each of the main residence and annexe (both situated in the kitchen). The extensive garden to the rear provides a safe family space from which to enjoy the outdoors, together with both workshop and double garage. There is ample off street parking for a number of vehicles. Lochanlea is a delightful family home offering great space and flexibility, all in all a highly desirable property and location. <br /><br />ACCOMMODATION <br /><br />Ground Floor: <br />Entrance Hallway.
