<p><b>A TRADITIONAL GRANITE COTTAGE, COMPLETELY OFF-GRID, NESTLED WITHIN THE BEAUTIFUL GALLOWAY COUNTRYSIDE NOT FAR FROM COASTAL VILLAGES ALONG THE SPECTACULAR SOLWAY COAST </b></p><p>what3words ///<a target="_blank" href="https://what3words.com/daunted.climber.looked">daunted.climber.looked</a></p><p>This traditional granite cottage is nestled within the Galloway countryside and up until recent times Knapping Knowes was used as a family holiday retreat. A refurbishment of the cottage was started in around 2022 with stripping out the bedroom to bare floors and ceiling and is now an incomplete refurbishment project.</p><p>Knapping Knowes is a completely off-grid property with a small generator for lighting and power tools, if required. For those looking to connect to the outside world, we are informed that there has been a phone mast installed in adjacent field so mobile signal is superb as well as roaming data. BT have also installed a fibre optic cable all the way up the track to directly beside the cottage, so an internet connection is very much possible.</p><p>The cottage has been enjoyed over the years for its simplicity along with the peaceful location. The square footage of the property amounts to about 1400 square feet and is made up of a sitting room / kitchen / diner, double bedroom (currently stripped out for refurbishment) & a WC. It should also be noted that the track leading to the cottage does require upgrading and care should be taken when approaching.</p><p>This charming cottage is surrounded by its own garden grounds, which do require some management, bound by traditional dry-stone dykes. A useful stone-built store attached to the rear of the cottage offers dry storage and could indeed have some development potential, however, any interested party wishing to pursue this would need to make their own enquiries with Dumfries & Galloway Council.</p><p>PLEASE NOTE: The property is approached by a gated farm track; therefore, caution should be taken when travelling to the property.</p>
