SITUATION
15 Bank Street, a category 'C' Listed building, is a compact quaint terraced property nestled in towards the end of Bank Street, in Scotland’s National Book Town, Wigtown.
Wigtown, is a very popular town especially in late September, when it hosts an annual book festival. The town becomes a hub of activity as people come to listen to authors, visit the many bookshops, eat in the cafés and wander through the ‘Kist’ with stalls displaying work made by local artists and craftspeople. Wigtown has a primary school, church and chapel, post office, supermarket, a number smaller shops and cafés as well as Scotland southernmost distillery in nearby Bladnoch.

Newton Stewart has a number of primary schools, the Douglas Ewart High School, a museum, leisure centre, three supermarkets, a post office which offers all postal and banking services, a cinema, and a wide range of shops, offices, businesses, hotels, restaurants and a modern distillery. The area is well known for outdoor pursuits, sports and wildlife. Kirroughtree Visitor Centre is situated approximately 4 miles from Newton Stewart and is part of the Seven Stanes range of mountain biking trails. The Galloway Forest Park offers superb walking opportunities and is home to Britain’s first Dark Sky Park, where phenomenal views of the night sky can be enjoyed.
