Linns Road, Dumfries, DG1 3QD
Penny Cottage is a charming village home set within the peaceful surroundings of Torthorwald, offering a lovely blend of character, comfort, and countryside living. This detached property enjoys a bright, welcoming layout with generous living spaces, a well-appointed kitchen, and a cosy snug that adds real versatility to the ground floor, with solid oak throughout.
Stepping in through the porch, the hallway creates an immediate sense of space and calm. The lounge/dining area runs the full depth of the property, creating an impressive central living space that feels bright, open, and welcoming. From here, the layout leads naturally into the kitchen, which is fitted with a mix of wall and base units and features an integrated electric oven and hob, with granite worktops. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room, perfect for keeping household tasks neatly tucked away. The ground floor also benefits from a cosy snug, providing a versatile space that works beautifully as a reading nook, TV room, or quiet home office.
To the rear, the large and bright conservatory becomes a standout feature of the ground floor, with wraparound glazing that frames the garden and creates a wonderful connection to the outdoors, offering open rural views.
The main bedroom, conveniently located downstairs, offers a peaceful retreat with excellent natural light and a lovely sense of privacy, complete with its own en-suite. Marble flooring runs throughout the ground floor, adding a touch of elegance.
Upstairs, the landing opens to two further good-sized double bedrooms, each with generous proportions. One of these bedrooms enjoys direct access to a private balcony, a superb elevated spot overlooking open countryside perfect for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day.
Outside, Penny Cottage sits within a private, well-kept plot with a parking area leading to a detached garage and workshop. The property also benefits from an attached old stable, which houses the ground source heat pump and provides additional storage. The good-sized garden to the rear is mainly laid to lawn with flowers, shrubs, and bushes, and offers various sitting areas to enjoy the open countryside views, with Criffel Hill visible in the distance. The property features double glazing and underfloor heating throughout, powered by a ground source pump. The property has solar panels - approximately 16 panels.
Torthorwald offers a pleasant village setting, providing a tranquil lifestyle while remaining accessible to local amenities and the wider area. This property provides an inviting, well-balanced home, ideal for those seeking modern comforts within a charming countryside environment.
