IF you are not sure whether you prefer townie living or a rural lifestyle, then Blackaddie Cottage, in Sanquhar, Dumfriesshire, could be the solution to your househunting quandary.

Once an estate hunting lodge, it combines the air of a rugged country property yet has the advantages of a town location. On the market through agents Smiths Gore with a fixed price of £160,000, Blackaddie Cottage, has been lovingly refurbished by its present owners. Where possible, they have reinstated original features.

Adding to the property's appeal is the fact, say Smiths Gore, the downstairs area could be used for bed and breakfast as the bedrooms and bathroom are self-contained.
