Menu
Bydand is a traditional semi-detached one and a half storey Galloway cottage located in the Village of Rhonehouse a short distance away from both Kirkcudbright and Castle Douglas.
This charming property is in need of some modernisation and updating but is well positioned within a generous garden with substantial detached workshop and studio which is sure to suit a number of different purchasers.
Rhonehouse itself is a small rural village located 2.5 miles north east of Castle Douglas in the heart of the Stewartry farming community, and within easy reach of the A75.
The nearby town of Castle Douglas is a thriving Galloway market town, lying approximately 18 miles south-west of Dumfries and enjoying an enviable range of shops and other facilities in a town now promoted as a “Food Town”. The town also has a wide range of facilities including excellent primary and secondary schools, modern Health Centre, supermarkets and a thriving community run theatre, The Fullarton, nearby.
The Dumfries and Galloway Region is renowned for its beautiful countryside with rolling pastures broken by stone dykes and amenity woodland with a rugged coastline. Benefiting from the Gulf Stream, the general climate is mild and there are consequently many beautiful gardens nearby including the National Trust Gardens at Threave.
