A delightful stone built detached period property dating back to around 1880 which retains many of its original features.
Craigville is a charming detached house which is centrally located in the heart of Kirkcudbright. The property has retained many of its original features including ornate

in the classic film ‘Lawrence of Arabia’
This delightful property offers well-proportioned and flexible accommodation throughout and would suit a number of different purchasers.
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 re-nowned 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.
Craigville is accessed through a wrought iron gate off of St Mary Street with a path leading up to the splendid front entrance with original wooden door framed with leaded
side windows on each side and working original doorbell.
