The property
12 Merse Strand is a well-proportioned two bedroom home. It presents as being in good condition, and benefits from UPVC double glazing throughout, a new hot water tank installed in 2014, and electric heaters with the Rointe Kyros Plus electric heaters having been installed in the last few years. Merse Strand is a cul-de-sac and there is therefore little passing traffic. There is open countryside in close proximity and lovely walks can be enjoyed. There is also a children's play area close by. The shops and other amenities of Kirkcudbright are a pleasant level walk away across the bridge over the River Dee. Kirkcudbright is an attractive harbour town situated on the banks of the River Dee. The town itself is of historic and architectural interest with its ancient High Street, Tolbooth Arts Centre, Stewartry Museum and numerous galleries. Long frequented by artists, Kirkcudbright was home to the renowned artist, EA Hornel, one of the "Glasgow Boys" who lived in Broughton House, now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland. Artistic tradition is maintained today by a flourishing colony of painters and craft workers which has led to Kirkcudbright being named the "Artists Town". The southwest of Scotland is a genuinely rural area with its gentle rolling landscape, mild climate and dramatic coastline. The area has a good range of sport and outdoor activities with opportunities to take shooting in the area, fishing on the nearby rivers and of course golf. The Solway is also a popular yachting destination with Kirkcudbright having its own marina.
