4 Bed in Castle Douglas (oc-d637110)

This gorgeous property, set over two levels, copies the architectural style of the much-loved traditional Scottish west coast Longhouse and is perfect for families or friends seeking a rural retreat. Less than 3 miles away, you’ll find Castle Douglas, a small, rural market town, foodie destination and home to the National Trust for Scotland's Threave Estate. Threave Estate offers an oasis of tranquillity, and in the summer months, the chance to see Ospreys. Explore Threave Castle, which is located on an island surrounded by the River Dee. Discover the scenic Sandy Hills Beach, 15 miles away, perfect for a day on the beach or enjoying cliff-top walks. Water sports are available on the Solway and at Loch Ken at the Galloway Activity Centre, 12 miles away. Children will love a day spent at Ernespie Farm or The Cocoa Bean Chocolate Factory, both within 6.5 miles.


Enter this impressive property on the ground floor, and you’ll step into an attractive open-plan kitchen/dining/living area with a relaxing and homely ambience. The decor features calming hues alongside stylish furnishings and decor that provide vibrant pops of colour and create a warm welcome for your stay. The downstairs space is flooded with natural light, with windows and doors opening onto the patio area. On warm days, you can open the doors to let the outside in while enjoying the magnificent, far-reaching views across to the hills and mountains. The sitting area is an inviting space to gather after a busy day of exploring. Sink into the comfortable sofas set around the cosy wood burner, making this a great year-round choice. Settle in for the evening and catch up on your favourite box sets or family films on the Smart TV. On the ground floor, you’ll also find a delightful double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a children’s bunk bedroom, and a family bathroom, providing plenty of flexibility for sleeping arrangements during your stay. When it is time to eat, head to the sleek, spacious kitchen, set just off the dining area and featuring all the appliances you need to cook up a storm.

Head upstairs to the first floor, where you’ll find a spacious king-size bedroom and a lovely twin bedroom, both with ample storage. A family shower room with a WC completes the interior features of this marvellous property.
