About this property
Perfectly positioned for exploring Dumfries and the wider Dumfries & Galloway countryside, this charming cottage invites guests to escape to southern Scotland. The property is located just 1 mile from Dumfries town centre, in a quiet residential area where peace is assured. Take the short walk into this historic market town, the former home of Scotland’s national Bard, Robert Burns. Enjoy walks along the River Nith, time spent in the town’s green spaces, and a trip to the local museum (0.5 miles), home to a fascinating camera obscura. If it’s golf you’re hoping to enjoy, you’ll be pleased to find Dumfries & Galloway Golf Club less than 500 metres away. Take a walk out of town along countryside pathways to reach Dalquhairn Woods and the Routin Brig waterfall (6.5 miles) or follow the river south towards the Solway Firth to discover the ancient fortress of Caerlaverock Castle (8.5 miles).
This chocolate-box cottage offers a characterful red-brick façade and pretty flora surrounding it, creating a storybook holiday destination for you to call your own. Step inside to find the open-plan lounge/diner, a welcoming space with a dining table set beside the patio doors, comfortable seating options and a TV/DVD with a selection of films to choose from. Let the wood burner fill the room with a warm glow during movie nights or mealtimes. Continue through to the kitchen, where all the necessary appliances and generous countertop space invite you to rustle up something tasty. Completing the ground floor, the property’s bathroom is conveniently located downstairs, fitted with a bath and shower over. Take the stairs up to the first floor to find two appealing bedrooms. The master bedroom is a spacious double with ample storage space for unpacking. The second room is a cosy single, an ideal spot for a younger guest or a handy space to store suitcases when not in use.
Savour some summer sunshine with time in the courtyard, a paved patio area framed by mature borders. This space features an outdoor bistro set and a bench, allowing you to soak up the sun while sitting out with a drink. Private parking is available, along with secure bike storage for up to three bikes.
