Wonderful, clean, spacious and quiet detached house with all the amenities you need plus lots of crockery and cooking implements should you need them. Clear and easy directions, decent parking although not for a very large vehicle. Just off major A road into Dumfries and all directions from there. Local shops are good and there is on the street parking for these. Great communication from owner, highly recommend.
