Ideally located on the edge of the Galloway Forest Park, just outside the town of Gatehouse of Fleet, this fantastic stone cottage provides an enviable escape for couples and their pets. The cottage sits just behind the cricket ground, in the vicinity of Cally Wood and close to the tranquil Cally Gardens and Cally Lake (both less than 0.5 miles away). Just 1 mile away, the town offers all the necessary amenities, including pubs and restaurants, all made more scenic by the Water of Fleet running through its centre. Explore the ruins of Cardoness Castle (2 miles) or make your way down to Cardoness (4.5 miles), a seaside destination on the Solway Firth. Start exploring Galloway with a trip to Carstramon Wood (3.5 miles) or a hike up Darngarroch Hill (5.5 miles), or follow National Cycle Route 7 by bike, spotting wild goats and rare red deer within the forest (26 miles).
The aged façade of this stone-built cottage is brimming with storybook appeal, so pause on arrival to take in the scenic surroundings. Step inside the open-plan living space, where mullioned windows flood the room with light and a wood burner adds warmth from a cosy corner. Soft seating and a drop-leaf dining table create inviting spots to relax in the evenings in front of the Smart TV, while the adjacent kitchen is designed for effortless meal prep. Completing the ground floor is a handy cloakroom with a WC. Take the narrow cottage stairs up to the first floor to find the bedroom, a cosy double ready to welcome you for a restful night’s sleep. An en-suite bathroom completes the space.
Enjoy your morning coffee or a wee dram of local whisky outside, making the most of the bench and lawn space that surrounds the property. Private parking is available for two cars.
