Queenshill Cottage is situated in an idyllic rural location nestled within the beautiful Galloway countryside.

Queenshill is a wonderful rural smallholding which has been a wonderful home and in the same ownership for just under 30 years. The property benefits from a charming ‘chocolate box’ two / three-bedroom cottage (requires some modernisation in parts), along with a purpose-built stable block and about 4 acres of grazing land incorporating a fabulous outdoor menage which is laid with a mixture of sand and rubber. Given the location of the property, hacking is available straight from the stable doors and the fantastic Galloway Dark Skies can be enjoyed throughout the year.

The garden grounds enclosing the cottage have a vast variety of annual perennials along with mature trees, fruit trees and shrubs, which attract a bounty of native wildlife and pollinating insects. The property is approached by a minor public road and benefits from off-road parking. The whole property presents the opportunity for continued equestrian uses, small-scale agriculture or horticultural purposes and has huge potential for some self-sufficient living.


The nearest local services are found in the busy harbour town of Kirkcudbright, which is situated on the banks of the River Dee. Kirkcudbright is extremely popular with tourists as well as craft shops and niche retailers the town is well served with a full range of retail and professional services. Both primary and secondary schooling are available within the town, with both being highly regarded.

For the avoidance of doubt, we are informed that a right or pre-emption exists in favour of a neighbouring land owner and further details or an explanation can be sought from the selling agents.

Please note: It has recently been brought to our attention that within the hedgerow adjoining the garden grounds there is evidence of Japanese Knotweed. The client instructed JKS (Japanese Knotweed Specialists) to carry out a survey on the 10th of September 2024. The Knotweed which was found under the RICS graphics table is CATEGORY C, which states low impact and no action and no mortgage retention is required for lending purposes. However, for complete transparency and peace of mind, our client has engaged this company to carry out a program of treatment to eradicate the knotweed and the first treatment will have been completed prior to conclusion of any missives with a further treatment to be carried out. The contract includes a 10 year transferable insurance backed guarantee. A copy of this survey can be obtained from Threave Rural.
