Land for sale in The Abattoir, Cotton Street, Castle Douglas. DG7

Ref NW0709.

Seldom available to the market, the 0.68-acre plot of land was the site of a former (now demolished) abattoir and is inclusive of a verdant lawn and woodland. This had previously gained full Planning Permission for the erection of 18 flats, of which planning has now lapsed. These documents can be provided on request. The lapsed Planning Permission for Conversion can also be viewed on the Dumfries and Galloway Council Planning Controls website using the reference 11/P/2/0115

The site is easily accessible with ample room for private parking options, and the mainly grassy land is ideally placed next to local playing fields, providing superb scope to create a modern development within easy reach of local shops, amenities and commuter links.

The site is situated on the outskirts of the sought-after town of Castle Douglas, which is a thriving 18th-century market town nestling between the Galloway hills, forests to the north and the sweeping beaches of the Solway Firth to the south. Well known for its independent shops and local produce stores and cafés of high quality, it is easy to see why the town has become the designated Food Town of Dumfries and Galloway. The town has many independent shops selling a great variety of goods in addition to food. There are also a variety of establishments providing meals and snacks, and several supermarkets/grocery stores including a Post Office and filling station. Located around 18 miles from Dumfries along the A75, the town is a thriving centre for prosperous local farming. Beside Castle Douglas is Carlingwark Loch, dotted with islands and great for boating and learning to sail and picnicking. There is a caravan park and kids' playground by the loch and at the far end of the loch is National Trust for Scotland's Threave Garden, House and Estate open to visitors all year. On an island in the River Dee stands 14th-century Threave Castle, the great fortress of the Douglases, which can be reached by ferry. Nearby is Threave Wildfowl Reserve, an important place for wintering wildfowl.
