DESCRIPTION Strachan forms part of a small steading conversion development about one mile south of New Galloway. The property was initially converted about 20 years ago from a dairy to a cottage and since substantially extended in 2011 to provide extensive, spacious accommodation finished to a high standard throughout. The internal finish including doors, skirtings, living room/sunroom flooring and architraves principally of solid oak. A large wood burning stove in the living room and oil fired Rayburn cooker in the Kitchen keep the house cosy in addition to the oil fired central heating. Externally the property offers an abundance of outbuildings, with Double Garage and workshop, adjoining timber frame car port with store and dog kennel. A short walk from the property Strachan boasts excellent equestrian facilities and approximately 5 acres of land split into 5 paddocks with additional vegetable plot with poly tunnel and orchard. Stables of professional construction include Manège with drainage, 4 full size horse stables, 1 pony stable, hay store, log store, workshop, stores and secure tack room.
