Apple Cottage, Silver Street, Creetown

Apple Cottage is a well-proportioned, contemporary family home which has been recently refurbished by the current owners throughout, including updating the electrics, installing Solar Panels with battery storage as well as updating internal decoration, floor coverings, kitchen and bathrooms. The property enjoys an elevated yet private position within a generous wrap around south facing garden.

The property is tucked away in a quiet location a short walk away from all local amenities.

The village of Creetown sits close to the A75 Euro Route, which allows quick access to be taken to other nearby towns, such as Gatehouse of Fleet (approximately 12 miles), and Newton Stewart (approximately 6 miles), where there is a wider range of facilities available.  Creetown itself offers facilities including village shop, butchers shop, nursery and primary school, dispensing GP surgery, filling and MOT station, Gem Rock Museum and local history museum, performing arts facilities, playing fields with MUGA, community woodlands and youth club.

Creetown is well served by public transport with the bus stop for journeys to the East and West of the region a short walk away from the property. There are many beautiful sandy beaches and rocky coves within easy reach, and equally dramatic inland scenery, with magnificent hills, glens and lochs. Galloway Forest Park is particularly convenient. A wide variety of outdoor pursuits can be enjoyed in the area, including sailing, fishing, golf, cycling and hill walking.
