The property
Surprisingly spacious three bedroom home with large garden to the rear and off street parking. The property also benefits from fine views to the South. Rosebank is a lovely and surprisingly spacious three bedroomed family home. The original cottage was extended many years ago, when the large bright south facing main living room at the rear of the house was added. The layout of the property allows the possibility to live on one level if desired. Rosebank is situated on the corner of Main Street and Captain's Brae, and benefits from a good sized tarmacadam area to the rear providing extensive off road parking. From here, the basement (which runs under the whole of the house) can be accessed, and would lend itself to a wide variety of uses, including as an artist's studio, workshop, or for storage of gardening items, sports equipment, motorcycles and pushbikes. Whilst most purchasers will be content with the existing layout and accommodation offered at Rosebank the following potential changes may be of interest to some: A) It is believed that the wall between the kitchen and the main living room is a stud partition wall and could be easily removed if desired, to create a living area open plan between the kitchen and the remainder of the living area. B) There is a service road at the bottom of the garden and there is the potential to build a garage here subject to the necessary planning consents. C) Whilst the basement is a most useful space at present, there may be the potential to form additional living accommodation in the basement. Again, if this is of interest, the purchasers should seek their own advice from an architect, builder, or other suitable expert. Twynholm is an active community benefiting from a Primary School, Garage with shop, and local pub. There are many community activities organized in the nearby Village Hall. Further facilities are available in Kirkcudbright approximately 3½ miles away, which is an attractive harbour town situated on the banks of the River Dee. Of historic and architectural interest with its ancient High Street, Tolbooth Arts Centre, Stewartry Museum and numerous galleries. Long frequented by artists it was home to the renowned artist, EA Hornel, one of the "Glasgow Boys". Kirkcudbright is popular with tourists attracted by the well renowned galleries and maintains a flourishing colony of artists and craft workers which has led to it being called the "Artists' Town". Kirkcudbright enjoys a wide variety of mainly family owned shops, pubs, hotels and restaurants whilst offering a wide range of facilities including its own golf course, marina, swimming pool and an active summer festivities programme including its own jazz festival and tattoo. The South West of Scotland is a genuinely rural area with its gentle rolling landscape, mild climate and dramatic coastline with a good range of outdoor activities easily available for those interested in hill walking, bird watching, fishing, mountain biking, water sports and of course golf. The Solway is also a popular yachting destination.
