SITUATION
Midtown is situated in an attractive, elevated location on the edge of the village of Laurieston. Looking out over the rolling countryside towards the Red Kite Feeding Station and Meikle Dornell Hill beyond.

The property is currently Tenanted until 9th May, viewing is by appointment with the selling agents, please respect the Tenants' privacy during the marketing period.

The nearby market town of Castle Douglas has a good range of shops, supermarkets, and other services, and is designated Dumfries and Galloway’s Food Town. The regional capital of Dumfries offers a wider range of shops, retail outlets and services including the recently opened Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.

There are water sports and sailing on nearby Loch Ken as well as on the Solway, along with excellent hill walking in the nearby Galloway Hills and cycling along some of the numerous cycle routes, as well as a nationally renowned network of mountain biking routes in the hills and forest parks making up the Seven Stanes centres.

Communications to the area are very good, with a regular daily bus service from the town, and railway stations in both Dumfries and Lockerbie. The M74 motorway is about 51 miles distant allowing easy access north and south. Regular flights to parts of the UK and Ireland as well as continental Europe depart from Prestwick Airport, which is 45 miles to the north. Both Glasgow and Edinburgh, which have international airports are around 80 / 100 miles respectively.

DESCRIPTION
Midtown sits in an idyllic edge of village location within a generous elevated plot enjoying far reaching countryside views. The current owner has modernised and improved the property since purchase to provide a comfortable family home. The property benefits from full double glazing, oil fired central heating and a wood burning stove in the principal reception room.

Offering generous accommodation space providing flexibility in layout to accommodate the purchaser’s specific needs. In its current layout, Midtown offers two bedrooms, however by utilising the front sunroom as a dining room, the ground floor dining room, currently used as a study, could easily adapt to form a third bedroom if desired. With an abundance of outside space, the property offers great potential for further development should a family need to expand the accommodation space (subject to relevant planning consents).

There is a small beech wood to the side, which is carpeted with snowdrops in January and several varieties of daffodil in spring. The garden attracts a wide range of wildlife including deer, hedgehogs, woodpeckers, numerous garden birds and the occasional red squirrel. The property is accessed via its own driveway leading to a parking/turning area. To the rear is an area of hardstanding where a large shed formerly stood. There is a greenhouse, shed and log store.
