SITUATION
1 & 2 Balgowan Cottages are nestled on the coastline surrounding Luce Bay, in a scenic and peaceful area of Wigtownshire on the Rhins of Galloway Peninsula. Luce Bay is just a short walk from the front door and the North Channel a few miles to the west. The property is surrounded by open farmland with stunning views and numerous beaches close by.
Ardwell is the nearest small village approximately 2 miles north of Balgowan, and Port Logan approximately 2.4 miles west is a peaceful hamlet set in a stunning coastal location with a beach, picturesque harbour, and the world’s oldest Marine Life Centre, Logan Fish Pond. Logan Botanic Gardens, Scotland’s most exotic gardens is less than 2 miles from Balgowan, where a variety of tropical plants flourish in the warmer climate, a result of the Gulf Stream being prevalent in this part of the region.
Primary schools, village shops, and GP’s surgeries are all available in the nearby villages of Drummore and Sandhead. The Mull of Galloway, Scotland’s southernmost point, is approximately 9.8miles south of Balgowan, at the Mull of Galloway you can climb the Lighthouse, visit the Exhibition of Lighthouse History, walk around the RSPB Scotland nature reserve, enjoy food and drink at Scotland’s most southerly coffee house Gallie Craig. The nearest town Stranraer has a secondary school, primary schools, hospital (Galloway Community Hospital), supermarkets, shops, offices, hotels, restaurants, and a train station. Trains to Ayr and Glasgow are available at Stranraer, trains also run from the regional centre of Dumfries, 76 miles to the east. Domestic and international flights are available at Prestwick Airport, 66 miles north, and Glasgow and Edinburgh Airports, 103 and 136 miles respectively. Motorway links and trains are available at Lockerbie, 89 miles east, and Kilmarnock, 77 miles north.
DESCRIPTION
1 & 2 Balgowan Cottages offer a beach retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a real escape to the country with uninterrupted views over Luce Bay and a small paddock. At present they are two semi-detached properties with a shared outbuilding known as ‘The Bothy’ but there is the potential to convert the cottages in to one substantial property, subject to the relevant planning permission and consents.
DIRECTIONS
Drive through the village of Ardwell on the A716 and continue for approximately 1.8 miles, past the junction on your right signposted for Logan Botanic Gardens. The entrance to Balgowan is on the left just at the beginning of the long straight, known locally as the Balgowan Straight. Drive past the farmhouse and continue for a further 0.2 miles until you reach 1 and 2 Balgowan Cottages.
