Inan House, Parton, Castle Douglas

Beautifully presented three bedroom detached home set within approximately two and a half acres of mature garden grounds with stunning views to the south across Loch Ken to the RSPB nature reserve beyond. Inan house has been thoughtfully updated throughout by the existing owners creating a stunning, comfortable home that is sure to suit a number of different buyers.

Parton is a quiet, friendly village with its own active community village hall. Inan House’s neighbour, to the east, is Parton Kirk, also the burial place of the physicist James Clerk Maxwell within the walls of the ruins of the Old Kirk, St. Inan’s Church (built c.1593). Inan House and its land is situated opposite Parton Row, to the north, a picturesque row of listed cottages.

Nearby, New Galloway has its own primary school, doctor’s surgery and active community attractions including the CatStrand, the Smiddy, local shop, local pubs and local post office. The village is also well served by public transport links, north to Dalry and beyond and south to Castle Douglas (some 14 miles away) and beyond. Dalry has a secondary school which is complemented by Castle Douglas High School after fourth year.

Castle Douglas is a thriving Galloway market town, lying approximately 18 miles south-west of Dumfries and enjoying an enviable range of shops and other facilities in a town now promoted as a “Food Town”. The town also has a wide range of facilities including excellent primary and secondary schools, modern Health Centre, supermarkets and a thriving community run theatre, The Fullarton, nearby.

The Dumfries and Galloway Region is renowned for its beautiful countryside with rolling pastures broken by stone dykes and amenity woodland with a rugged coastline. Benefiting from the Gulf Stream, the general climate is mild and there are consequently many beautiful gardens nearby including the National Trust Gardens at Threave.
