The property
The Old Stable House is a delightful two storey family home, providing well-proportioned light bright flexible accommodation. The accommodation is currently laid out with four double bedrooms, and extensive public rooms including: main Living Room; Kitchen/Diner; separate Dining Room; Study; Family Room and home Gym. The harbour town of Kirkcudbright is known as "Scotland's Artist Town" and was particularly popular with the Colourists (many of whom lived in Kirkcudbright) around 1900. It is a very active, friendly community, and most visitors to the town are surprised at the variety and number of activities and events being held. The town benefits from primary and secondary schools (with an excellent reputation), Health Centre and Cottage Hospital, Dentist, a wide variety of local shops, library, swimming pool, golf course, and marina. The surrounding country is well known for its variety of beautiful scenery, and within easy reach there are many sandy beaches and rocky coves on the coast. The inland scenery is equally dramatic, with magnificent hills, glens and lochs. Garden: To the front of the property there is an area of garden mainly laid to grass on the opposite side of the driveway. To the left of the Studio/ Home gym is a wrought iron gate which leads through from the driveway to a very sheltered gravelled courtyard suitable for growing plants that enjoy shelter from the wind, or for sitting out on windier days. The studded wooden door leading to the rear porch is accessed from this area. The main Garden can be reached through a gate further down the drive, from the door leading from the Kitchen/Diner or from the patio doors leading out directly from the Sitting Room. There is also a right of vehicular access from the public road to the garden through the neighbours property for occasional use, such as removing garden waste.
