Beautiful bothy planted with hundreds of spring daffodils comes to the market

Muiryhill Bothy sits elevated to the west of the small village of Durisdeer, to the north of Thornhill and is now for sale through Galbraith.

This charming and thoughtful conversion of the original farm bothy presents spacious accommodation with two bedrooms and a good sized sitting room with log burning stove and has patio doors framing the stunning views over the garden and the rolling farmland beyond.

The house is modern, light-filled and welcoming and the kitchen is fitted with elegant wall units and has plenty of room for a table and chairs, ideal for family mealtimes as well as cosy dinners with friends. The main bedroom has an en-suite shower room, and the second bedroom is served by the main bathroom.

Marion Currie, handling the sale for Galbraith in the Castle Douglas office, said: “Muiryhill Bothy is a fantastic two-bedroom property offering the perfect base for those keen to explore the beautiful Dumfriesshire area and all it has to offer. Being located close to attractive and bustling local villages whilst only a short drive from the regional capital of Dumfries, the property benefits from being rural yet easily accessible.

“The area is well served with a wide range of amenities, good local schooling both primary and secondary, as well as local campuses of both Glasgow University and the University of the West of Scotland located in Dumfries. This makes the bothy an attractive opportunity for a young family looking to relocate to a lovely rural location where they can put down roots. It would likewise appeal to a young professional looking for a great work life balance, given Glasgow is only 57 miles away, meaning breakfast to boardroom can be achieved in just over an hour.”

The extensive garden has been planted with laurels to the front boundary to give colour as well as providing privacy. The garden is grassed to the sides and rear, and to one side is a timber studio which can be used for a variety of purposes. The grass to the other side is planted with hundreds of daffodils, giving a spectacular spring display. Evergreens provide privacy by screening the rear of the house.

Dumfriesshire is renowned for its diverse range of outdoor pursuits and activities with numerous hillwalking and hiking paths and hills. There is excellent fishing available on the region’s many rivers and lochs, as well as good sea fishing off the coast.

Mountain bike enthusiasts are well catered for with Drumlanrig Castle’s Mountain bike tracks and Seven Stanes Mountain biking at Ae Forest. For golfers there are several excellent courses nearby including the championship course at Southerness and the area is ideal for equestrian lovers with many stables offering livery and schooling.
