Set on about 0.6 acres on the edge of Moffat, Oakbank Cottage is a traditional detached home with broad countryside views and generous living space across two floors. The dual-aspect living room with bay window, wood flooring and a wood-burning stove provides a warm, characterful focal point, while a dining room beside a kitchen with Raeburn stove and separate utility gives practical family flow. An adaptable ground-floor room with full-height glazed French doors can serve as an office or fourth bedroom.
The gardens are a major asset: lawns, mature planting, an orchard, a small burn and a summerhouse create private outdoor rooms and scope for outdoor entertaining or productive planting. A detached double garage/workshop and extensive parking add storage and hobby potential; further development of outbuildings would require the necessary consents.
Practical points to note: the house is heated by oil and drains to a private septic tank, the EPC is band D, and broadband speeds are very slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors are relevant for running costs and connectivity in this remoter, agricultural setting.
Oakbank Cottage will suit buyers seeking a spacious, character home and large private garden close to Moffat’s amenities — families, countryside enthusiasts or buyers wanting a hobby workshop and space for garden projects. The property offers immediate liveability with scope to update services and improve energy efficiency over time.
