 A unique property that has been extensively renovated to provide either a large family home or a business opportunity. The property has wonderful views across Carlingwark Loch to Screel Hill & Bengairn.

 Smithy House is a traditional Galloway cottage, part of which was originally built at least 300 years ago, and was extensively renovated and extended in 1997. From 1998 until 2010 the property was a high class VisitScotland four star graded Bed and Breakfast and member of Scotland’s Best B&Bs. Standing in a plot of just over 0.5 acre, this property would make an ideal family home or business opportunity.

 Castle Douglas is situated centrally in the Stewartry District of Dumfries and Galloway, and is an ideal tourist centre.

 The Buchan is an area on the outskirts of Castle Douglas within easy walking distance of the town with its shops, schools, restaurants, Health Centre and hospital. The property was originally a smithy and a number of artefacts associated with its time as a forge have been found over the years in the gardens.

 The house is approached by a private drive. The bank of Carlingwark Loch opposite the house is in the ownership of the residents of The Buchan, of which Smithy House is one. To the rear of the property is farmland in the ownership of the National Trust for Scotland, and on the north side is woodland in the grounds of Carlingwark House.

 The house has four double bedrooms, double glazing throughout and full central heating supplied by a biomass wood pellet boiler, with hot water system supplemented by solar panels. It is equipped with a full burglar alarm, emergency electricity generator and hard-wired smoke detectors. There is ample off road car parking.
