INTRODUCTION
The village store and dwellinghouse are situated in a central position within the pretty village of Balmaclellan, which is located in the Stewartry area of Dumfries & Galloway. Balmaclellan is a small hillside village of stone houses with slate roofs, set within a fold of the Galloway hills in Southwest Scotland.

THE DWELLINGHOUSE
The dwellinghouse is situated above the shop and is accessed via the ground floor. The dwelling has been much improved within the current ownership and is very well-presented throughout. The property is approached from the main street, benefitting from off-road parking with landscaped garden grounds to the rear, affording stunning views across the surrounding countryside with a raised patio, making this the perfect area for alfresco dining and entertaining.

BALMACLELLAN STORE
Balmaclellan store is accessed for the main street and has operated as a very successful village convenience store, offering a range everyday essential items. The shop is offered to the market along with the dwelllinghouse and any potential purchaser could continue with this as a retail unit or indeed, it could lend itself to any type of tourist-based enterprise, conversion to self-contained annex or incorporated into the dwellinghouse above.
