A unique opportunity to purchase a portfolio of three well proportioned,
light, bright, spacious Galloway properties located on a former drover’s road
overlooking rolling fields across to the Galloway hills.
Carse of Trostrie is a delightful portfolio of three cottages located in a
quiet rural location a short distance from the village of Twynholm and the
A75.
These charming properties consist of the Main House, Middle Cottage and Carse
Cottage. With the Main House and Middle Cottage being linked by way of an
inner hallway and Carse Cottage being self - contained. The current owners live
in the Main House and rent out both Middle Cottage and Carse Cottage as
successful self - catering accommodation. Due to the flexible nature of the
layout and potential to produce additional income we believe that these
beautifully presented properties are sure to suit a number of different
buyers.
(It should be noted that all properties have their own front and rear doors
with access directly out to the garden) For those buyers who perhaps need a
larger main residence, Middle Cottage and the Main House can easily form a
spacious main residence, with Carse
Cottage retained as a self - contained annexe, for a family member or for
providing an additional income stream.
Twynholm is an active community benefiting from a Primary School, Garage
(which also offers many of the facilities of a village shop), and a Pub/Hotel.
There are many community activities organised in the nearby Village Hall.
Twynholm provides easy access to the main road through the area, the A75.
Further facilities are available in Kirkcudbright approximately 31⁄2 miles
away, which is an attractive harbour town situated on the banks of the River
Dee. Of historic and architectural interest with its ancient High Street,
Kirkcudbright Galleries, Tolbooth Arts Centre, Stewartry Museum and numerous
smaller independent galleries. Long frequented by artists it was home to the
renowned artist, ea Hornel, one of the “Glasgow Boys”. Kirkcudbright is
popular with
tourists attracted by the well renowned galleries and maintains a flourishing
colony of artists and craft workers which has led to it being called 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.
