Cottage for sale in The Byre, Cannee, Kirkcudbright DG6

Charming stone built country cottage in excellent decorative order, with stunning outlook towards Kirkcudbright, the Dee Estuary and beyond to surrounding countryside. Gardens to the front with off-road parking.

The Byre is a charming and unique country cottage, situated on the outskirts of the harbour ‘artist’ town of Kirkcudbright. Although end terrace, the property does not feel like your typical end of terrace because of its location and neighbouring former Cider Tower.

The cottage has been sympathetically converted to couple a traditional building with the convenience of modern living. It has spectaculars views to the front across open countryside out to the harbour town of Kirkcudbright and follows the Dee Estuary beyond across to the Galloway Hills.

If not too distracted by the views, the accommodation offered by Byre Cottage is excellent, and is tastefully decorated throughout. Presently used as a holiday let, this property would be ideal for continuing as holiday let, long term let or indeed as a permanent home. The property is available for sale fully furnished subject to separate negotiation. All white goods, carpets, curtains and blinds are included.
