Quirky converted boathouse perched over tranquil loch goes up for sale

A quirky boathouse converted into a stunning home with a balcony is on the market.

Built on stilts over the tranquil waters of Loch Fern, in Dumfries and Galloway, this magical property is a fisherman's dream.

The historical building, which dates back to 1880, even comes with two mahogany clinker boats named Swallow and Kingfisher.

Homeowners can also cast out a fishing line over peaceful lily pads from the private mooring at the front of the boathouse.

The current owners purchased the property in 2003 and have spent years making it postcard-perfect space which is currently used as a holiday let.

Quirks of the property include a porthole window in the bathroom and glass panelled balcony with stunning views over the loch and countryside.

It even has a tackle room which oozes with nostalgia, featuring wood panelling showing outlines of notable fish taken from the loch with inscriptions dating back to World War II.
