The Orchard, Ruthwell, Dumfries, DG1 4NY

Set within the peaceful village of Ruthwell Station, The Orchard is an attractive two-bedroom detached bungalow offering generous single-storey accommodation, excellent parking and a wonderful open outlook across neighbouring farmland and countryside.

The L-shaped layout centres around a spacious hallway and offers an easy flow throughout.

The impressive lounge stretches from front to rear, with twin windows and French doors opening directly onto the patio and garden, bringing plenty of natural light into the room and making the rural outlook part of everyday life.

A well-equipped kitchen/dining room provides ample space for cooking and dining, complemented by a separate utility room housing the oil-fired central-heating boiler.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles positioned to the rear.

Bedroom One enjoys its own French doors onto the patio, while Bedroom Two benefits from countryside views and substantial wardrobe storage.

A generously sized bathroom, complete with separate bath and corner shower, completes the accommodation.

Outside, a generous driveway provides excellent off-road parking, with pathways continuing around the bungalow.

The rear garden has been unattended while the property has stood vacant and would benefit from some attention, but offers excellent space for relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying the peace of the setting.

A paved patio, garden shed, external power and lighting and a neatly fenced oil-tank enclosure add further practicality.

For anyone seeking a detached home away from the bustle, The Orchard combines space, privacy and countryside living while remaining within easy reach of Dumfries and Annan.
