Dunscore, Dumfriesshire
Along about five miles of road, then a lane, is a lone pink house with views of the Lowther Hills. Over the past 30 years, the current owners have extended the five-bedroom property, which has five reception rooms, including the snug. The 3.6 hectares (nine acres) of land include lawns, mature shrubs, a walled fruit and vegetable garden, orchard, courtyard garden, paved patio and two small, fenced paddocks. The gardens have been opened to the public as part of Scotland’s Gardens Scheme. £725,000. Fine & Country, 01896 829 569
