Situated in the heart of Kirkcowan, ‘The Coach House’ is conveniently located for all local amenities on a quiet main street, only a short walk away from the village shop, primary school, park and doctor’s surgery. There are a series of local circular walks which take in the scenic views around the village. Fishing is currently available, along
designated stretches of local rivers, through a village syndicate, at a minimal annual cost.
This lovely family home provides spacious flexible accommodation throughout and would suit a number of different buyers. Although recently modernized, the property has retained its charm and character, with ceiling cornicing, deep skirting boards andwindowsills. Due to the positioning of the property, where the gable of the building sits
on the Main Street, the main door for the property opens out onto the side garden and accessed via a pedestrian gate directly from the main street. To the rear of the property is a large, enclosed garden, with vehicle access, and
parking for two cars.
The village of Kirkcowan is located approximately 7 miles to the west of Newton Stewart. With the A75 Euro route being only a few minutes’ drive to the north, there are easy links to the local towns of Stranraer, Wigtown and Newton Stewart and thereafter the major towns of Kircudbright; Castle Douglas and Dumfries.
Kirkcowan is a vibrant Galloway village which also has a Doctors’ Surgery, Post Office and shop, Garage, Community Hall and Play Park. It has good public transport links. Buses regularly pass through the village heading both West to Stranraer and East to Dumfries. The Community Hall has regular events throughout the year including a small flower and craft show. Newton Stewart, offers a wider range of shops and services, including a leisure centre, cinema, secondary school, Library and three supermarkets.
Wigtown is known as the ‘Scottish Book Town’ with a popular annual festival and within a few miles is the Galloway Forest Park which is renowned for cycling and Dark Skies events.
The village also benefits from a community fund set up to administer a grant from the local wind farms (see https//kcdt.uk). It has previously provided money to improve the village play park, a transport bus for elderly residents and a winter fuel allowance for all villagers.
