2 bedroom semi detached house for sale

Kirkcudbright is the charming former County Town of the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright and is now styled as The Artists Town.

The central area of Kirkcudbright, along St Cuthbert Street, Castle Street/High Street is historic and an extremely attractive area.

There is a small lane, Tanpits Lane, that connects Castle Street (near the Masonic Arms) through past the Parish Church to St Mary Street near the Town Hall. Towards the Castle Street end and just behind the Castle Street houses, there is a small Close called Tanpits Close, effectively comprising No: 2 and No: 3 but with access to a third property that is within the Castle Street houses.

It is very private and being the end one, there is scope for putting colourful tubs and the likes within the front enclosed yard, with its high surrounding walls.

It is a small property but the open plan design of it gives a feeling of space. The small enclosed garden is an enormous amenity and it is colourfully laid out with mature shrubs that provide shelter and privacy.

There is a good sized sitting area and then adjacent to it a small area for dining (although some might prefer to use the conservatory for dining). The kitchen area is slightly screened.

Within the kitchen area there is a surprising range of floor standing and wall mounted units incorporating a double-oven and hob, and space for washing machine, refrigerator, and freezer. Double-glazed window with wide sill looking to the garden. Cork flooring.

In the living room, there is a useful area at the foot of the stairs where there is a cloaks cupboard but also room for some storage or it could be a study area for the computer. A second night storage heater is located below the stairs. The stairs are interesting – the staircase is a wide spiral well lit by a velux roof window as well as a double-glazed window to the front yard. At first floor level, the landing is wide and the two bedrooms, bathroom and a large hanging storage cupboard open off it. The storage cupboard

contains the hot tank with slatted shelves for airing.
