Fludha, a beautiful family home set in its own grounds, is located in a prestigious elevated position on the northern edge of Kirkcudbright. This particularly fine, period, castellated property has outstanding river and countryside views. Between 2005 and 2007 it underwent a major program of modernisation and refurbishment and was also extended. The combination of a beautifully maintained eight bedroom home, secondary accommodation, along with its views over, and proximity to, the town and river, make Fludha a truly individual property.
Gardens and Grounds -
The enclosed gardens and grounds at Fludha extend to just under two acres with views to the south over the River Dee. There are sweeping lawns, a large paved sun terrace to the front of the house, pond and water feature, sunken patio and seating areas with concealed lighting. From the property’s elevated position there are impressive views over the River Dee Estuary to Kirkcudbright harbour and the Galloway Hills. The tree-lined private drive winds its way up to Fludha from the main road and leads to the expansive car parking area and two 3.5 Kw electric charging points (no warranty given). There is also a 20’ x 12’ timber shed, providing useful storage for bicycles and/or garden equipment, and an alternative rear driveway. Kirkcudbright town centre can be reached by road or riverside walk and is less than a mile away. To the rear of the property is a courtyard with garage/workshop. The boundary is denoted by a combination of stone walls, hedges, timber fencing and a stream.
Kirkcudbright -
Kirkcudbright is an attractive harbour town situated on the banks of the River Dee. The town has a good range of modern services including shops, health amenities and primary and secondary schooling. The town itself is of historic and architectural interest with its ancient High Street, Toll Booth Arts Centre, Stewartry Museum and numerous galleries. Long frequented by artists, Kirkcudbright was home to the renowned artist E A Hornel, one of the “Glasgow Boys”. The artistic tradition is maintained today with a flourishing colony of painters and craft workers, which has led to Kirkcudbright being known as the “Artist Town”.
Castle Douglas, located along the A75, provides for all general day to day requirements whilst Dumfries (26 miles), has a wider range of shops and services available. There is a regular train service from Dumfries to the south. Glasgow airport can normally be reached in around one hour forty-five minutes.

This area of south west Scotland is renowned for its beautiful verdant rolling hills.
