Ancien presbytère privé de Galloway House Estate surplombant la baie de Wigtown

I live in Scotland with my husband. We have 2 children-one a Doctor and the other an I.T. entrepreneur. We are farmers and antique dealers with a shop in Virginia, U.S.A. We love living in south-west Scotland with its gorgeous uncrowded beaches, superb scenery, and friendly locals. I am a hill walker so the coastline and hills are blissfully peaceful. My husband is a golfer and his local course of St. Medan is Scotland's most southerly and awards dramatic coastline views- the sunsets are amazing!

Although not looking to purchase a property with two other businesses already, we knew we had to buy Park Cottage as its location and potential were too tempting! With 21 private acres, a sea view and of historical significance, this listed house had great appeal. Having renovated it to a very high standard and installed bio mass heating, every comfort is offered. With its tree lined drive and sea view, Park Cottage is blissfully away from the rat race! With open fields and the old stone laundry just visible to one side and the sea on the other, guests can enjoy an truly idyllic location.

Park Cottage is a listed historic house set in a listed landscape influenced by the landscape designer Capability Brown. While retaining its original features, fixtures and some fittings where possible, the house has every comfort possible. By installing biomass heating there is never an issue with quantity of hot water or heat and underfloor heating downstairs has guests enthused after returning from a dip in the sea ! Decorated with great care and quality of furnishings has been important to us. Not only have we tried to retain the soul of the property , but also have added a "new traditional" flair. Attention to detail for my husband Robin and I has been vital- even the chain for the kitchen's refurbished Copper lanterns had to be hunted down. We are always improving the property and giving back- not just taking away- we love this house! We were able to extend the house a few years ago and added a Mark Wilkinson designer Cook's kitchen with thick granite worktops to compliment. Larger groups will appreciate the space when having fun cooking together. A large antique table and chairs have hosted many gatherings with ease. Huge Halo leather modular seating was added to easily accommodate all sizes of groups. A full wet room was added with easy walking access and we can provide a shower seat, toilet frame and transportable wheelchair. The house is very unique in that it sits in its own private grounds of 21 acres. There is no passing traffic and no traffic noise can be heard. Only the soporific sound of the sea and the birds. We have added a fire pit overlooking the sea and new for 2021 a HOT TUB to gaze at Galloways' Dark Sky . We truly try to make your holiday here in the beautiful south west of Scotland a special one and we have families returning every year for the past 20 years. They usually book it a year in advance! Wonder what the upgrade will be this year? It's a new luxury "cabin" with bespoke copper roof, deck lighting and toilet!
