Set at the foot of Tinto Hill, the Coulter Hills and the River Clyde, it is a charming bungalow, offering spacious and peaceful country living.

The flexible accommodation offers prospective buyers the opportunity to continue operating the property as an Airbnb destination, or, alternatively, it would serve as a spacious family home, a retreat or a second home for countryside getaways.

With accommodation on one level, the property offers plenty of living space.

The lounge is decorated tastefully in a neutral colour, making this an elegant space in which to relax.

It is warmed by a wood burner for cosy winter nights in.

There is also access to the outside area to the rear. Flooring is an attractive quality wood that flows throughout the cottage. The kitchen benefits from an integrated washing machine, dishwasher, oven, hob and cooker-hood extractor. It is bright and airy with an abundance of both floor-standing and wall-mounted storage units in a tasteful taupe colour.

There is also ample space for sociable evening dining or a hearty breakfast, before setting off for a morning walk in the delightful surrounding countryside.

Off the main hall, there are two very good-sized double bedrooms. The master is exceptionally large and is flooded with light via the dual aspect windows, offering charming views to both the front and the rear.

The second bedroom is situated to the rear and is another beautifully presented bedroom, currently set up as a twin, with ample space to house a double or king-size bed.

This exceptional property boasts a stunning modern bathroom with a shower enclosure with an electric shower along with WC and wall-hung storage units housing the wash-hand basin. Additionally, the property benefits from double glazing throughout as well as oil-fired central heating powered by a newly-installed boiler.

Externally, the property enjoys a truly enchanting setting - the perfect spot to enjoy outside entertaining with its wrap-around garden.

The idyllic and peaceful gardens are laid to both lawn and stone-chipped areas, and comprise an array of mature shrubs, as well as established larger trees which offer additional shelter and security.

To the front, there is also a multi-car gravel driveway.

A perfect rural hideaway, Symington is just a short drive from neighbouring villages and towns.

Keller Williams is seeking offers over £230,000 for The Maynes Lodge.

Booking for the open weekend is not required. If you would rather arrange a private viewing, call Jane Buchan on 07872 494405.
