24 High Street, Kirkcudbright

24 High Street is a substantial terraced town house in the Kirkcudbright’s historic High Street with well-proportioned rooms throughout providing flexible accommodation options to suit a number of different buyers.

The property also benefits from an enclosed rear garden and detached cottage which are accessible via a close to the side of number 24 which can be accessed directly from the house or from High Street itself.

The detached stone built cottage to the rear, is in need of renovation and is currently uninhabitable and has been only used as a workshop or storage area recently. It could however be converted subject to obtaining appropriate planning consents to form an annexe, artist’s studio, or office.

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 swimming pool, golf course, marina, bowling green, squash & tennis courts and an active summer festivities programme, including its own Jazz Festival and Tattoo. There is also a modern primary school, secondary school and health centre.
