The Precinct House is a charming Georgian-style property located in the former Royal burgh of Whithorn in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This National Trust for Scotland property is ideal for a couple or small family looking to explore the Machars, nearby coast, and Galloway Forest Park. The house has been lovingly restored while retaining its character and history, with underfloor heating throughout for a cosy feel. The sitting room features a bay window, woodburning stove, and Georgian furniture, while the sun room offers a relaxing space with a glass ceiling and exposed stone walls. The kitchen/diner has oak beams, a Belfast sink, and a dining table for home-cooked meals.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms - a single and a master bedroom with a king-size four-poster bed. Outside, there is roadside parking and a rear enclosed garden with a patio and furniture for enjoying outdoor meals. The property is located next to the Priory, which once housed the relics of St Ninian, making it a historically significant area. Whithorn itself is an Outstanding Conservation Area and one of Scotland's oldest settlements, with attractions like Whithorn Priory, St Ninian's Cave, and the Whithorn Story Visitor Centre.
Nearby attractions include shops, pubs, Galloway House Gardens, The Machars peninsula with quaint villages and stunning coastal walks, Wigtown - Scotland's national book town, and Galloway Forest Park with scenic walking and cycling trails. The forest park is also Scotland's first Dark Sky Park, making it an excellent spot for stargazing. The Precinct House is a fantastic property for those looking to explore the rich history and natural beauty of this part of Scotland.
