House For Sale £210,000
Bridgend Smithy is a charming detached Galloway Cottage offering well proportioned accommodation throughout. Although in need of some modernisation, this property is full of character and would and would make an ideal home suitable for a variety of prospective purchasers.
Bridgend Cottage sits approximately half way between Kirkcudbright and Gatehouse, both of which offer a variety of amenities, with more being available in Kirkcudbright. It is an attractive harbour town situated on the banks of the River Dee. Kirkcudbright 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.
