A late 18th century former farmhouse located close to the coast_This enchanting detached former whitewashed farmhouse sits within large private gardens and woodland on a hillside near Cardoness Castle, with hill walks directly from the door. Little Boreland is full of character and has caught the eye of many a passing artist, with its charming blue windows and separate dairy. Bicycle storage is available in lockable outhouses. It is an ideal holiday retreat from which to explore the Solway Coast with its many sandy beaches and rocky coves. It is within walking distance of the small town of Gatehouse of Fleet with shops, cafes, attractive restaurants, the Country Style kilt making centre and the Mill on the Fleet Visitor Centre. The area offers great walking opportunities with wonderful countryside, lochs and the Galloway Forest Park featuring cycle paths, walks, birds and other wildlife. There are many local attractions such as Cardoness Castle, Cally Gardens (with its unusual variety of plants) and the Cream o’ Galloway for its adventure playgrounds and celebrated ice cream. Throughout the area are fishing, golf and watersports.
