Apple Cottage is a stone-built Galloway cottage that combines period character with comfortable family living. The front sitting room features a granite fireplace and a contemporary wood-burning stove, while the adjoining family room and spacious farmhouse-style kitchen provide generous everyday living space. A bright garden room with vaulted ceiling and French doors opens onto a large enclosed rear garden with productive apple trees and a sheltered patio — ideal for outdoor dining and play.
The house offers practical ground-floor accommodation including a front-facing double bedroom and a convenient ground-floor toilet, plus two further double bedrooms and a shower bathroom on the first floor. Modern comforts include double glazing, fast broadband, and fitted kitchen appliances including a five-burner gas hob and electric oven. The property is freehold and sits in a quiet village street with pleasant views towards the River Bladnoch.
Notable considerations: the cottage has some low ceilings and partially coombed first-floor rooms characteristic of period properties, which may limit head height in places. Parking is on-street only; there is no private driveway. The property sits in a remoter, sparsely populated area with limited local services and a higher-than-average area deprivation score, so buyers should be comfortable with rural living and travel for some amenities.
Apple Cottage will appeal to families or those seeking a characterful primary home or rural retreat with scope to enjoy outdoor pursuits nearby — walking, golf and coastal activities are all within easy reach. The garden and productive apple trees are a particular asset for anyone wanting low-maintenance outdoor space and room for informal entertaining.
