A mixture of the traditional and modern, this Dumfries cottage has been renovated to give a traditional cottage feel, with modern touches such as an inset gas fire making attractive additions to the accommodation. There is a substantial garden to the rear of this Dumfries cottage, with a mixture of lawn and woodland with open views onto surrounding farmland. There is not only a pond in the garden, but also a stream running through it, making it a lovely spot on a summer's afternoon. A quality property, this Dumfries cottage has been well equipped and decorated with charm and style. It also benefits from a ramp at the rear and a specially designed bathroom with handrails, ensuring less mobile guests can enjoy their stay here. There is excellent walking from the doorstep, Glasgow is just an hour's drive away and there is also easy access to the northern part of the Lake District and the magnificent Hadrian's Wall. Cyclists will enjoy the highly acclaimed mountain bike trails, golfers are well catered for with 29 courses to choose from and there are ample opportunities for loch and river fishing.

The village of Torthorwald can be traced to the 13th century and the ruins of Torthorwald Castle date from the 15th century. Only 4 miles away is Dumfries whilst the surrounding area contains many castles, abbeys and even a Tibetan Buddhist Centre and is a good centre for touring the rest of the area - the spectacular triangular Caerlaverock Castle and its nature reserve; New Abbey and the Solway Coast - and a starting point for travelling west into the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright and the rest of Galloway.
