Stunningly situated with uninterrupted sea views and within walking distance of the shore, Kirkdale Bank is situated on the Kirkdale Estate, home to the Hannay family for the last 500 years. The property is surrounded by woodland and looks out over the magnificent Solway Firth and beyond to the Isle of Man. The house benefits from a fully enclosed south facing garden looking out to sea and a further large garden to the side and rear. The house has been completely refurbished and offers a fantastic opportunity for a coastal holiday with stunning sea views.
Situated on the Solway coastline, 5 minutes to the west of the attractive town of Gatehouse of Fleet, there is plenty to see and do locally. The area boasts stunning sandy beaches, the famous Seven Stanes mountain biking centre, forest walks, a huge choice of golf courses, fishing, tennis, clay pigeon shooting, archery and horse-riding. Guests are welcome to use the golden sandy beaches at the private Cardoness Estate only 3 miles away.
Cream o' Galloway, the award-winning organic ice-cream and dairy farm with children's indoor and outdoor play area is within 10 minutes drive - an ideal day's visit for a family. The house is 15 minutes from Kirkcudbright, a beautiful coastal town famous for its artists and 20 minutes from both Castle Douglas, South-west Scotland's food town, and Wigtown, Scotland's book town. There are plenty restaurants and cafes to choose from locally. Or curl up in front of a real log fire and enjoy looking out to sea.
