New Galloway has two hotels, community shop, Glenkens medical practice, as well as a popular 9 Hole Golf course. The village also boasts the Catstrand visitor centre with café, exhibition space, shop and 90 seater theatre where events run all year round. Kells Primary School is situated in New Galloway and buses provided to Secondary school in St Johns Town of Dalry and Castle Douglas.
The nearby market town of Castle Douglas has a good range of shops, supermarkets, and other services, and is designated Dumfries and Galloway Food Town. The regional capital of Dumfries, about 25 miles distant, offers a wider range of shops, retail outlets and services including the Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary and the Crichton Campus providing further education courses.
Communications to the area are very good, with a daily bus service from New Galloway and railway stations in both Dumfries and Lockerbie. The M74 motorway is about 50 miles distant allowing easy access north and south. Regular flights to parts of the UK and Ireland as well as continental Europe depart from Prestwick Airport, which is 41 miles to the north. Both Glasgow and Edinburgh with their international airports are 77 and 105 miles respectively. A daily ferry service to Northern Ireland operates with Stena Link from Cairnryan 46 miles to the west, close to Stranraer.
DESCRIPTION
Mains of Kenmure Byre is a conversion of an original farm building which sits in a traditional courtyard. The edge of village location and outward facing windows give the house a very private feel, and yet all the facilities of New Galloway are within easy walking distance.
Entering from the courtyard, where there are two parking spaces adjacent, you arrive in the kitchen end of the living accommodation and marvel at how the property opens up and seems much bigger on the inside than outside. Clever use of velux windows, light tunnels in the walls, and the large windows and patio doors flood the house with light, and a sense of space. There is plenty of room for a large kitchen, easily able to cater family gatherings, a lovely dining area and a chic living area with cosy log burner in the corner. The large patio doors with window lights over bring the garden into the room and the ever changing seasons can be watched in comfort. Original beams soar over the space echoing the building’s past. Stairs lead from the living area up to a mezzanine landing area which makes a useful play area or could be used as a study. Bedroom 4, currently in use as a games room/extra bedroom leads off from the mezzanine.
The three double bedrooms are accessed from the ground floor and feature patio doors and en suite shower rooms. The master bedroom (Bedroom 3 on the floorplan) is a spectacular space with a chic shower room partitioned off from the main sleeping area, large fitted wardrobes, picture windows, glazed door to the rear garden and stairs up to the mezzanine level where there is a bath for soaking your cares away in style.
Outside there is a large garden with parking areas, garage/workshop/former stables, and decking, more fully described below.
All in all, Mains of Kenmure Byre is a wonderfully versatile property suitable for full time living, second home use, or holiday letting/AirBnb/long term letting. An ideal base for exploring the area, it would make popular holiday accommodation, but equally the location and facilities of New Galloway can support an idyllic family life.
ACCOMMODATION
Ground Floor: Open Plan Kitchen/Dining/Living Area. 2 double en suite bedrooms. Master Bedroom Suite.

GARDEN
To the side of the house a wooden gate leads to an area of hardstanding suitable for parking. Leading on from here, the side garden is mainly of hardstanding and suitable for outside seating, planters, cold frames etc. There is a long raised bed with attractive plants on the edge of the raised area, and mature trees give privacy and shelter to the side boundary. To the rear of the house and leading out from the patio doors in the living area, is a large gravelled area suitable for a variety of uses including outside entertaining. Beyond this, is a large lawn leading down to the boundary, with various mature shrubs and trees. The large garage/workshop/former stables has a generous decked area looking out over the farmland beyond and is an ideal location for al fresco dining, entertaining or simply to soak up the view with a glass of something chilled of a summer’s evening.
The garage/workshop/former stables building could be replaced or developed subject to all necessary permissions.
