The property

Spacious 3 bedroom stone built period property in the heart of Castle Douglas. Charming stone built end terraced house with 4 public rooms and 3 bedrooms. Although in need of some modernisation, it retains many of its original features such as deep skirting boards and cornicing. The property has a wonderful rear garden and is centrally located in the heart of Castle Douglas within easy reach of all local amenities. Castle Douglas is a thriving Galloway market town, lying approximately 18 miles south-west of Dumfries and enjoying an enviable range of shops and other facilities in a town now promoted as a "Food Town". The town also has a wide range of facilities including excellent primary and secondary schools, modern Health Centre, supermarkets and a thriving community run theatre, The Fullarton, nearby. The Dumfries and Galloway Region is renowned for its beautiful countryside with rolling pastures broken by stone dykes and amenity woodland with a rugged coastline. Benefiting from the Gulf Stream, the general climate is mild and there are consequently many beautiful gardens nearby including the National Trust Gardens at Threave.
