St. David Street, Kirkpatrick Durham, Castle Douglas

Flat 1 occupies the first floor of a landmark white-painted building on the corner of St David Street, its datestone marking 1813 above the door. Inside, the flat has held onto the character that building age like this usually gets renovated out of: a traditional sash window in the bedroom looking over the rooftops of the village, and decorative cornicing running through both the bedroom and the open-plan living space.

The living, dining and kitchen area runs the length of the building. There is room for a proper sofa arrangement in the living area, the dining space seats four comfortably, and the kitchen is fitted with shaker-style cabinets and a small breakfast bar for two, painted in a soft duck-egg green. The bedroom is a good double, and there is a walk-in wardrobe off it for anyone who wants storage kept out of the room itself. The bathroom completes the layout, off the hall.

Outside, there is a communal rear garden shared with the building, and parking is on-street, in keeping with a flat set in the middle of the village rather than on its edge.

Kirkpatrick Durham is a conservation village with its own community hall, church and curling club, and this building sits right on its main junction. Springholm Primary School is about a mile away, with secondary schooling at Castle Douglas High School. Castle Douglas itself is six miles south, covering the day to day: shops, supermarket, doctors, dentists and the swimming pool, with Dumfries further beyond for anything bigger.

This is a flat for someone who wants a genuine period building without inheriting the upkeep of one, in a village that still has its own centre rather than being a satellite of somewhere bigger.
