Priory Croft, 3 John Street, Whithorn

Built around 1864 Priory Croft, has been owned by the same family for over 30 years number of years. As well as being a much loved family home this spacious detached house, offers well-proportioned flexible accommodation throughout. Although in need of some updating and modernisation the property retains much of its original character and charm and is sure to suit a number of different purchasers.

Priory Croft benefits from oil fired central heating and has twelve solar panels on the roof supplying power, resulting in reduced electricity costs, which can also generate a small income following the submission of meter readings.  The property has a mixture of original single glazed sash and case windows and UPVC double glazing.
