The Property

This nineteenth century traditional property is on the south side of the main square in Wigtown.

The bookshop-café opens onto the main square with ample free parking. The café area has tables for 20 covers, a fully equipped café kitchen including espresso machine, and a toilet. The bookshop area has shelving for approximately 7000 books and an office area for the internet bookshop, cataloguing and packing.

An extensive timber building, which is insulated and has heating and lighting, provides stores for the bookshop and the café, a book repair room, a meeting space for literary events, reading and writing groups, and a garage.

Our home, behind and above the bookshop-café, has its own front door and a connecting door from the shop. On the ground floor is a sitting room, a dining/kitchen, and a utility/shower room, all within a large and light open-plan area recently created by renovating a series of outbuildings. On the first floor above the shop are three double bedrooms (one currently used as an office/shop) and a bathroom. There is a partly floored loft for storage, with pull-down loft ladder. The long south-facing garden, with views over Wigtown Bay, leads to the back lane and has a polytunnel, a fruit and vegetable garden, a flower garden and patio, and lawn.

The property has been extensively renovated with rewiring, oil-fired central heating, double-glazing, and slate roof.

Price: offers in the region of £300,000 plus stock at valuation.
