1 Church Houses, Laurieston, Castle Douglas

Traditional semi-detached Galloway cottage located in the quiet village of Laurieston.

Church House is a well-proportioned 3 bedroom semi-detached home benefiting from a large enclosed garden to rear. The property is well positioned in the village of Laurieston which is within easy access of both Castle Douglas and Gatehouse of Fleet.

Laurieston is a small country village, situated on the edge of the Galloway Forest Park (the first dark sky park in the UK), the surrounding area is one of natural beauty and is popular with outdoor enthusiasts for walking, bird watching and fishing, and a wide range of water sports are a ten minute drive away at Loch Ken Activity Centre. The village also benefits from a bus service connecting it with Castle Douglas and the Glenkens.

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.
