2 bed detached house for sale

Whithorn Lodge, Whithorn DG8

Whithorn Lodge is a detached stone built former estate lodge located in a rural location a short distance away from Whithorn, and approximately 9 miles away from Wigtown.

Wigtown is a pretty, traditional market town and is known worldwide as Scotland’s National Book Town, a designation that reflects its dozen or so quality bookshops and annual literary festival. Founded in 1999, the ten day Book Festival is now one of the UK’s best loved literary events.

As well as offering a good range of local shopping and professional services, Wigtown and nearby Newton Stewart are regarded as natural bases from which to explore the Galloway Forest Park which covers a vast and sparsely populated area stretching north east. The wild landscape and extensive woodland and unspoilt coastline provide many opportunities for outdoor pursuits.

There are eight good local golf courses to choose from. The coastline offers sailing and sea fishing and there are safe anchorages at Port William and the Isle of Whithorn. The A75 provides excellent road links and there are railway stations at Stranraer and Dumfries.
The area has a wide range of sport and outdoor activities with opportunities to take shooting in the area, fishing on the nearby rivers, golf, and with an extensive range of walks and cycle paths. Galloway is well known for its popular mountain bike trails at Kirroughtree on the outskirts of Newton Stewart along with the Galloway Dark Skies Park.
