2 Stockarton Cottages, Kirkcudbright

A traditionally built semi-detached former farm cottage tucked away in a secluded rural location enjoying lovely views over the garden and surrounding countryside. The property is accessed off a farm track approximately 3 miles from Kirkcudbright and 8 miles from Castle Douglas.

Kirkcudbright itself is an attractive harbour town situated on the banks of the River Dee. The town itself is of historic and architectural interest with its ancient High Street, Tolbooth Arts Centre, Stewartry Museum and numerous galleries including the recently opened Kirkcudbright Galleries. Long frequented by artists, Kirkcudbright was home to the renowned artist, EA Hornel, one of the “Glasgow Boys”. This tradition is maintained today by a flourishing colony of painters and craft workers which has led to Kirkcudbright being named the “Artists’ Town” and the recent opening of the Kirkcudbright Galleries further promotes that artistic tradition on a national stage.

The southwest of Scotland is a genuinely rural area with its gentle rolling landscape, mild climate and dramatic coastline. The area has a good range of sport and outdoor activities with opportunities to take shooting in the area, fishing on the nearby rivers and of course golf. The Solway is also a popular yachting destination and Kirkcudbright has excellent berthing facilities.
