Description
Kells Cottage is a well presented traditional mid terraced cottage which has been sympathetically modernised by the current owners. This charming home benefits from newly refurbished contemporary Kitchen / Dining / Family Room with walk in pantry and breakfast bar area. The property has been fully insulated throughout and also benefits from two wood burning stoves and air source heat pump. 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, 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. Set in a scenic rural location, 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. 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. OUTSIDE: The front garden is mainly laid to gravel with paved path leading to front door. Immediately to the rear of the property is a decked terrace area ideal for alfresco dining and enjoys a wonderful view across the garden and neighbouring farmland to the hills beyond.
