Rose Haugh, Laurieston, Castle Douglas

Rose Haugh is a traditional detached home which benefits from bright and flexible accommodation. This delightful home also benefits from a self-contained annexe with its own private entrance and integrated garage which lends itself well to multigenerational living, or providing a secondary income subject to appropriate letting consents. It should be noted that the annexe can also be easily incorporated within the main house if preferred.

Laurieston is a small country village, situated on the edge of the Galloway Forest Park (the first dark sky park in the UK), the surrounding area is one of natural beauty and is popular with outdoor enthusiasts for walking, bird watching and fishing, and a wide range of water sports are a ten minute drive away at Loch Ken Activity Centre.

Castle Douglas is a thriving Galloway market town, lying approximately 18 miles south-west of Dumfries and enjoying an enviable range of shops and other facilities in a town now promoted as a “Food Town”. The town also has a wide range of facilities including excellent primary and secondary schools, modern Health Centre, supermarkets and a thriving community run theatre, The Fullarton, nearby.
The Dumfries and Galloway Region is renowned for its beautiful countryside with rolling pastures broken by stone dykes and amenity woodland with a rugged coastline. Benefiting from the Gulf Stream, the general climate is mild and there are consequently many beautiful gardens nearby including the National Trust Gardens at Threave.
