Carsebuie is an idyllic ‘lifestyle’ property tucked away in a unique and secluded rural location bordered by farmland and on the outskirts of Kirkcowan, and handily located for easy access to the A75 and the local market town of Newton Stewart.
This traditional Galloway Steading currently offers flexibility and secondary income potential which is sure to suit a number of different purchasers. As well as the main cottage there is also a detached stone barn located within the courtyard which has been converted by the current owners into an artist’s studio/gallery complete with wood burning stove, lighting and power. This wonderful stone barn could be used for a number of purposes such as a home office, cinema room or it could also be suitable for conversion to a self-contained annex subject to appropriate planning consents.
There is a ruined barn opposite which could lend itself to development of other projects. The current owners operate a successful self-catering Shepherd’s Hut tucked away in a
paddock located at the far end of the steading. (Although not included in the home report valuation as this is classed as a moveable item the advertised price does include the
shepherds hut) The quiet and peaceful woodland setting makes this wonderful property a haven for a variety of birds and wildlife which frequently visit the garden and woodland.
The village of Kirkcowan is located approximately 7 miles to the west of Newton Stewart.
With the A75 Euro route being only a few minutes’ drive, there are easy links to the local towns of Stranraer and Newton Stewart and thereafter the major towns of
Kircudbright; Castle Douglas and Dumfries.
Kirkcowan is a vibrant Galloway village which also has a Doctors’ Surgery, Post Office and shop, Garage, Hotel and good public transport links. Buses regularly pass through the village heading both West to Stranraer and East to Dumfries, the bus stop and Nursery and Primary School are both a few minutes’ walk from Old Church Hall. Newton Stewart, offers a wider range of shops and services, including a leisure centre, cinema, secondary school and four supermarkets.
