6 Curlew Close, Whauphill, Newton Stewart, Dumfries and Galloway, DG8

SITUATION
6 Curlew Close is situated in a quiet rural area of southwest Scotland, on the edge of the village of Whauphill, and less than 5 miles from Scotland’s National Booktown, Wigtown. The location of 6 Curlew Close is also within minutes of two very picturesque bays, Luce Bay to the west and Wigtown Bay to the east.
Wigtown hosts an annual book festival in late September and the town becomes a hub of activity as people come to listen to authors, visit the many bookshops, eat in the cafés and wander through the ‘Kist’ with stalls displaying work made by local artists and craftspeople. Wigtown has a primary school, church and chapel, post office, supermarket, a number of smaller shops and Scotland’s southernmost distillery is in nearby Bladnoch. Newton Stewart is the nearest town, a market town on the River Cree known as the Gateway to the Galloway Hills. Newton Stewart has several primary schools, the Douglas Ewart High School, a museum, leisure centre, three supermarkets, a post office, cinema and a wide range of shops, offices, businesses, hotels, restaurants and a modern distillery. The area is well known for outdoor pursuits and sports. Kirroughtree Visitor Centre is situated approximately 5 miles from Newton Stewart and is part of the Seven Stanes range of mountain biking trails. Fishing, shooting, golf and equestrian facilities are all readily available throughout the area.

Trains to Ayr and Glasgow are available at Stranraer, about 26 miles from Whauphill, and ferries to Northern Ireland sail from nearby Cairnryan. Trains also run from the regional centre of Dumfries, 58 miles to the east. Domestic and international flights are available at Prestwick Airport, 59 miles north, and Glasgow and Edinburgh Airports, 93 and 126 miles respectively. Motorway links and trains are available at Lockerbie, 71 miles east, and Kilmarnock, 66 miles north.

DESCRIPTION
6 Curlew Close is presented in immaculate condition and offers spacious accommodation over a split ground level, with adaptability within to suit the specific needs of the buyers with specific regard to bedroom/reception room layout. Of timber frame construction under a tiled roof, the current owners have run a programme of improvements since they purchased about 9 years prior. A welcoming hallway provides immediate access to the fourth bedroom with large front facing window. Continuing through leads to the charming living room, with a large window to the rear garden, an open fire for those cooler winter evenings and doors through to a sunroom. The sunroom is currently utilised as a dining room and has French doors providing access directly to the rear garden.
Moving through the property the modern fitted breakfast kitchen provides an attractive room with ample space for table and chairs. With a range of fitted floor and wall units, integrated oven & hob and ample under counter space for appliances. The sink and draining board is situated in front of a large window with views to the rear garden and countryside beyond. Door opens to the utility room with further fitted units, space for a washing machine and housing the Worcester Bosch Boiler, fuelling the Oil Central Heating. A door provides direct access to the rear garden.
The bedrooms to this side of the property are well proportioned and all offer fitted wardrobe space. The master bedroom is a delightful room with a large front facing window and a modern fitted shower en-suite. The modern fitted family bathroom with large corner bath completes the accommodation offering.

Externally the property benefits from a generous plot, with a garden to front and rear with ease of maintenance at the forefront. A large gravel driveway provides off road parking for a number of vehicles leading directly to the garage with electric door.

6 Curlew Close is a fine example for a property being offered in true “turn key” condition. Immaculately presented inside and out providing a deceptively spacious and adaptable home in an appealing rural edge of village location.
