NUMBER 2 Acre Place is a deceptively spacious threebedroomed mid-terraced house and garden in the county town of Wigtown in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland’s officially designated book town and host of the annual book festival event that attracts visitors from far afield.
The C-listed building dates from the mid-19th Century and features cottage-style 12-pane sash and case windows at the front to complement the attractive stone and granite façade. Internally, the property has recently been fully rewired and carefully refurbished in a simple, unfussy style to maintain the original charm and integrity of the building, which also has a shared pend at the side which provides access to and from the garden externally in addition to direct access from the kitchen. The accommodation extends over three levels – ground floor sitting room, dining room and kitchen; first floor master bedroom, second bedroom and shower room, while the attic floor houses the third bedroom, a particularly large room with a deep walk-in dormer window. Space and light are prevailing features, enhanced by traditional high ceilings, all of which combine to make this a beautifully presented home in walk-in condition. Notable details include a locally made wood-burning stove in the sitting room.
As a family home, weekend retreat or holiday let this Acre Place home is an all-round winner in every respect, including the price – offers over £150,000 to Galbraith in Castle Douglas.
