Kilncroft is located in a peaceful spot between the villages of Shawhead (2 miles away) and Crocketford (3 miles away). It enjoys excellent views over the surrounding countryside from its elevated position. Shawhead benefits from a primary school and regular bus route. Amenities in Crocketford, previously a toll village known as Nine Mile Bar, include a shop, hotel and a village hall. An extensive range of facilities can be found in Dumfries, some 9 miles distant. Dumfries also provides good transport links including bus and train services and access to the M74/M6 motorways to the North and South.


Kilncroft is a beautifully situated 4 bedroom detached house, dating from the early 20th century. The rooms throughout are bright and generously proportioned and many enjoy double aspect views over the garden grounds and countryside. The house benefits from modern kitchen and bathroom suites, full UPVC double glazing and oil fired central heating.

To the rear of Kilncroft, there is a traditional stone outbuilding which contains two stores/workshops and a one bedroom cottage. The cottage does not have a central heating system or double glazing installed at present. Heating is provided in the form of two wood burners. There is also another building, which was previously used as a garage and could easily be used again for this purpose. Generously sized, sunny aspect garden grounds wrap around the property on 3 sides. Ample parking and turning space for several vehicles is also available.

Kilncroft is an opportunity rarely presented to the market offering a large four bedroom home, with the additional cottage suitable for a variety of uses such as separate accommodation for an elderly/dependant relative or as holiday let or long term letting property.

Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the unique accommodation on offer.
