Tongland Road, Kirkcudbright, DG6

Fludha, a beautiful family home set in its own grounds, is located in a prestigious elevated position on the northern edge of Kirkcudbright. This particularly fine, period, castellated property has outstanding river and countryside views. Between 2005 and 2007 it underwent a major program of modernisation and refurbishment and was also extended. The combination of a beautifully maintained eight bedroom home, secondary accommodation, along with its views over, and proximity to, the town and river, make Fludha a truly individual property.
