Description

The Schoolhouse is situated on the periphery of the pretty Galloway village of Gelston and only a short drive to the market town of Castle Douglas.

This charming, full of character, two storey detached house has been in the same ownership for 47 years which is a testament to this wonderful family home. The accommodation within is beautifully presented and still retains many original features. The property is surrounded by mature garden grounds with lawns, mature hedges, trees & shrubs along with a paved patio creating a wonderful space to enjoy alfresco dining during the summer months. The Gelston Burn bounds to the rear of the property, with the whole garden attracting a variety of native wildlife. The Schoolhouse enjoys beautiful views from most of the accommodation and given its countryside location, offers a peaceful lifestyle with huge potential for some self-sufficient living.

The Schoolhouse is located on the periphery of the pretty village of Gelston with the primary school a very short distance away and secondary schooling available at Castle Douglas. Castle Douglas (The Food Town) offers the nearest local services with a modern health service, wide range of professional services as well as three national supermarkets. The high street is renowned for its niche retailing with a wide range of traditional shops, delicatessens, butchers, bakers, grocery stores and craft outlets. Castle Douglas is a thriving community with lots of community run events taking place throughout the year, including the fabulous Soapbox Derby and Civic Week celebrations.
