3 Bed Cottage in Kirkcudbright

About this property

Surrounded by mesmerising scenery and offering creature comforts throughout, this lovingly modernised farmhouse provides the perfect escape for friends and family seeking a peaceful retreat in the scenic Scottish Uplands. This detached holiday home is ideally positioned between the artists’ town of Kirkcudbright (5 miles) and the charming Fleet Valley town of Gatehouse of Fleet (4.5 miles), giving you two wonderful local destinations to explore, each offering galleries, pubs and independent shops. Stargazers will be captivated by the nearby Kirkcudbright Dark Space Planetarium (5 miles) and the vast expanse of Galloway Forest Park (8 miles), the UK’s first designated Dark Sky Discovery area. The forest is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with scenic walking trails, tranquil lochs, abundant wildlife and excellent mountain biking routes. Enjoy watersports or peaceful fishing afternoons on Loch Ken (18 miles), or venture to the Red Deer Range (25 miles) for the chance to spot majestic roe deer in breathtaking surroundings.

This characterful stone-built farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated to offer every modern comfort while retaining its original charm, with ornate fireplaces and antique-inspired styling throughout. Step inside to find a welcoming twin bedroom on the ground floor, conveniently served by a downstairs wet room. Further along the hallway, a practical utility and boot room provides laundry facilities and plenty of storage for coats and walking boots after a day outdoors. The spacious kitchen is beautifully arranged and features a generous walk-in larder, while the elegant lounge/diner offers the perfect setting for gathering together over long meals. When dinner is done, sink into the sofas and armchairs, switch on the Smart TV with Sky and unwind for the evening. Upstairs, two further bedrooms await - one king-size and one double - each offering beautiful views across the surrounding countryside. A second family bathroom serves this floor, while a cosy first-floor snug provides an additional peaceful space to relax, read or simply soak up the scenery.

Outside, the beautifully landscaped garden offers the perfect place for birdwatching, wildlife spotting and dark-sky gazing. With a spacious lawn and comfortable outdoor seating, it’s ideal for stepping out with a fresh coffee in the morning or a wee dram in the evening. Private parking for up to four cars is also provided.
