Rare opportunity to purchase a delightful sandstone house in a semi-rural coastal location on the edge of Kirkcudbright. This charming home also benefits from a detached two bedroom annex, double garage and separate workshop/studio.
The Great Cross is a bright and spacious detached three bedroom home offering flexible accommodation enjoying exceptional views across the Dee Estuary and is sure to suit a number of different buyers. The detached annex, located at the far end of the garden, also enjoys fine river views and could serve as a self-contained guest house or indeed generate a secondary income for the owners. This charming home is located a short distance away from the local amenities of Kirkcudbright.
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 golf course, marina, swimming pool and an active summer festivities programme, including its own Jazz Festival and Tattoo.
