Menu
Mill House is a well-proportioned linked cottage which is located within a quiet
converted steading within the hamlet of Girthon. The property is a short distance
away from both Sandgreen and Carrick beaches with easy access onto the A75 and the local amenities of both Gatehouse of Fleet and Kirkcudbright.
Gatehouse of Fleet is an active community and benefits from many local amenities,
such as a primary school, shops, library and health centre. Within the wider area,
there are many beautiful sandy beaches and rocky coves within easy reach, and
equally dramatic inland scenery, with magnificent hills, glens, and lochs.
Within Gatehouse there are active sports clubs (for example bowling, snooker,
golf and cricket) and a wide variety of outdoor pursuits can be enjoyed in the area,
including sailing, fishing, golf, cycling and hill walking.
Nearby Kirkcudbright is an attractive harbour town situated on the banks of the
River Dee. The town itself is of historic and architectural interest with its ancient
High Street, Tolbooth Arts Centre, Stewartry Museum and numerous galleries. Long
frequented by artists, Kirkcudbright was home to the renowned artist, EA Hornel,
one of the “Glasgow Boys”. This tradition is maintained today by a flourishing
colony of painters and craft workers which has led to Kirkcudbright being named
the “Artists’ Town”.
Kirkcudbright enjoys a wide variety of mainly family owned shops, pubs, hotels and
restaurants, whilst offering a wide range of facilities, including its own swimming
pool, 18-hole golf course, marina, bowling green, squash & tennis courts and an
active summer festivities programme, including its own Jazz Festival, Scottish
Nights and Tattoo. There is also a modern primary school, Kirkcudbright Academy
secondary school, health centre, veterinary practice and library.
