Set back from the main road, Auchensheen is located just a few miles from Colvend, a delightful village with a restaurant, church, shop and primary school. The Clonyard Hotel is approx. 300 yards away from the property and has good facilities: a restaurant, bar meals and lounge bar. The coastal villages of Rockcliffe and Kippford are also in close proximity. Amenities in Kippford include two pub/restaurants, a nine hole golf course, the yacht club and tearoom/shop. Rockcliffe boasts a lovely beach. The countryside surrounding Auchensheen in all directions offers an excellent choice of outdoor activities. Sea, fly and coarse fishing are all available close to hand. Golfers are also well catered for with courses nearby in Kippford, Colvend, Dalbeattie and the Championship course at Southerness. Walking and cycling facilities, including the 7Stanes National Cycle Tracks and walking tracks in Dalbeattie Forest, are all situated within a few miles. “The Granite Town” of Dalbeattie is the gateway to The Solway Coast, and offers primary and secondary schooling, shops, local food stores and a health centre.


This detached bungalow offers bright, spacious accommodation and enjoys wonderful views across open countryside to the rear. It benefits from full UPVC double glazing and partial electric heating, in the form of ceiling mounted panel heaters. There are also Dimplex electric storage heaters throughout the property but these are not in working order. There are sunny aspect, wrap around garden grounds which offer an excellent degree of privacy and are regularly visited by a range of wildlife. Off street parking and a double garage complete the accommodation on offer. Auchensheen does require modernisation but once works have been completed, the property would make an ideal family home.

Viewing is recommended to appreciate the accommodation on offer.
