We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Description 17A Victoria Place is not your average family home.
Designed and built as a one-off, this detached property has a distinctive character that sets it apart from anything else on the market in Kirkcudbright, while still delivering the practicality young families need.
On the ground floor, the layout flows well.
The living room is a real standout, with full-height windows flooding the space with natural light and giving the room an airy, open feel that photographs cannot fully do justice to.
The kitchen is well specified with high-gloss units, solid wood worktops, a range cooker with extractor and a breakfast bar, with the adjacent dining area making this a proper family hub rather than just a functional room.
The bathroom is also on the ground floor, which works well for day-to-day family life. Upstairs, three good-sized bedrooms are served by a landing with walk-in wardrobe off the primary bedroom.
The primary bedroom mirrors the full-height window arrangement from the front elevation and benefits from the same generous proportions seen throughout the property.
Outside, the private rear courtyard is fully concreted, enclosed by timber fencing and accessed directly from the kitchen via french doors. It is easy to maintain and practical for children.
There is space for a car to the front of the property.
The property is timber frame construction with insulated walls, solid insulated floor and a c-rated EPC of 79, well above the Scottish average of 61.
Heating is via gas central heating with TRVs throughout, keeping running costs predictable. Kirkcudbright itself is one of Dumfries & Galloway's most sought-after towns.
The artists' town on the Dee estuary, it has a thriving community, good local schooling and easy access to the wider Dumfries & Galloway road network.
