Property description & features

North Milton is a well-proportioned former farmhouse, mainly dating from the Victorian era, with the oldest part of the house thought to date from the 1700s. It benefits from many traditional features enhancing the character of the property, such as the panelled wooden doors, coving and picture rails to most rooms, and lovely pitch pine staircase. The property has been tastefully modernised and enjoys oil-fired central heating, double glazing to all windows except the front porch, and a spacious Mozolowski and Murray conservatory added by the present owners.

The extensive outbuildings provide ample space for a variety of uses and include two stables. There is a beautiful well stocked garden, many fruit trees, and the present owners also grow a variety of vegetables in the kitchen garden and greenhouse. The two fields included in the title are currently let annually to a local farmer.

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.
