Old Knock School is nestled within the spectacular coastal region of Dumfries & Galloway surrounded by open countryside views, with Luce Bay only a short distance away. Old Knock School has been in the same family for 59 years and is the type of property which oozes charm, character and has plenty of space. Old Knock School which originally had 2 classrooms has become the principle dwelling of the current owners and provides family, diverse four-bedroom accommodation over split floor levels.

Knock School Cottage was the original 19th century Dame School provided by The Maxwell’s of Monreith Estate to provide education for the surrounding children. Around 1888 Old Knock School was constructed to replace the Dame School, which had outgrown demand for school places, now offering as a spacious two-Bedroom Cottage.

In addition, and a fabulous feature of Old Knock School & Knock School Cottage is the land which currently operates as an intimate caravan site set within its boundaries. The site is licensed for 15 pitches, a combination of caravans, motorhomes & tents, with five hardstanding. It also has the original school toilet block which lends itself to the business. The site has been very popular over the years providing peace and tranquillity to new and returning customers every year. The location of Old Knock School is such that a plethora of native wildlife can be enjoyed on a daily basis, with the sunsets and dark skies being absolutely spectacular.

Old Knock School benefits from the best of both worlds being an opportunity to be a fantastic & successful lifestyle business in its current set-up providing immediate income along with the opportunity to grow subject to planning applications; it could also be used for a small scale horticultural, equestrian purposes or as a spacious multi-generational family home.

Knock School Cottage has been used as a Holiday Let for several years and complies with the Scottish Government requirements. However, it would be an ideal home for extended family wishing to come together in the Machars.

Knock School Cottage Holiday Lets have been managed by an agent in recent years, but with internet and social media presence could be managed in house. The Caravan Site although currently privately licensed could become a member of a 5 Van site organisation with the benefits of the memberships of customers.
