Braeside, Balmaclellan, Castle Douglas

Braeside is deceptively spacious offering bright and flexible spacious accommodation throughout. This charming home enjoys an elevated position with a fine outlook across rooftops to the hills beyond to the front and across the rear garden.

Balmaclellan is an interesting village, quietly placed off the Kenbridge – Corsock Road so is convenient for the main A713 running between Ayr and Castle Douglas.  The main local centre of Castle Douglas is little more than 20 minutes by car.  Dumfries and Ayr are similarly easily accessible.  New Galloway is less than 2 miles from Balmaclellan and Dalry is less than four miles from Torwilkie.   Between them they have a reasonable range of local services including general grocery shops, hotels and restaurants.  Dalry has a senior and primary school and New Galloway a primary school.  New Galloway has a nine-hole golf course, a modern medical practice and the purpose built “CatStrand” of the Glenkens Community Arts Trust initiative offers an excellent range of community activity and artistic and musical performances.

Balmaclellan itself has an excellent shop and is visited by a mobile Bank and Post Office.  There is a Post Office in nearby New Galloway.  The Village Hall in Balmaclellan enjoys a number of community activities. The surrounding area offers excellent walking and other rural pursuits.
