Kirkennan Cottage is a spacious, characterful four-bedroom detached home set on about one acre with commanding coastal views. The house combines original granite features and modern extensions: large downstairs living/dining space, a generous kitchen/diner opening to a courtyard, an upstairs sun-lounge with panoramic outlooks and multiple sun terraces. Outbuildings, three ponds and an integral garage/workshop add versatility for storage, hobbies or home-working.
The layout suits a family seeking rural space or a buyer wanting an attractive second home close to the Solway coast. Practical systems are straightforward: oil-fired central heating and double glazing throughout. The property offers immediate liveability but also scope to personalise and improve finishes and services.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the EPC is rated E and the property is heated by oil, which may concern running costs and sustainability. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, which will affect remote working. Palnackie Primary has been earmarked for closure, changing local school arrangements and increasing travel to Dalbeattie for children. Council tax sits in band G and is described as quite expensive.
Overall, this is a rare coastal-elevation estate with wildlife-rich grounds and flexible accommodation. It will appeal to those seeking space, scenery and character who accept rural utility limitations and the opportunity to upgrade energy and connectivity features over time.
