Old Post House is a spacious terraced former Post House situated within the rural village of New Galloway. The property has been sympathetically renovated by the current owners and provides spacious flexible accommodation for any perspective purchaser. The house itself is complimented by a large garden mainly laid to lawn, mature shrubbery and bordered flower beds. There is a charming outhouse in the garden previously used as an Art Studio which would make a wonderful home office or garden room with access direct to the garden. The property is close to local amenities including the village shop, current Post Office and the Catstrand. The Glenkens, scenically, is a delightful area and New Galloway at its heart used to be the smallest "Royal Burgh" in Scotland. That focus, and indication of civic pride, may explain why it has a surprising range of immediately local facilities for such a small town - there is a challenging 9-hole Golf Course affording magnificent views, hotels, an excellent Tea Room within the Catstrand, a Post Office and community run modern General Store, a Medical Practice, two Churches (Church of Scotland and Scottish Episcopalian), a well-regarded Primary School with a Secondary School three miles away at Dalry, and a modern and dynamic Community & Arts Centre at The Cat Strand. A whole range of rural pursuits are easily obtainable nearby, with the emphasis on walking, cycling, water sports and fishing. The property is set in a scenic rural location, but many larger centres are easily accessible - Ayr is approx. 1 hour north, Dumfries approx. 45 minutes east, Castle Douglas approx. 20 minutes south, Newton Stewart approx. 30 minutes west and Kirkcudbright approx. 30 minutes south. 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.
