The Solway Firth is sought after for its microclimate, dramatic tides, rugged unspoilt coastline and secluded beaches.

Kippford village, six miles away, is a popular holiday destination and home to the Solway Yacht Club which hosts regular events and an annual racing week.

The championship golf course of Southerness is only eight miles to the east. For walking enthusiasts there are many lovely walks in the area including from Kippford to the village of Rockcliffe along the Jubilee Path, and coastal walks from Sandyhills to Portling. The Edge is therefore ideal as a permanent residence or a luxury holiday let.

Marion Currie of Galbraith, who is handling the sale of the property, said: “The Edge is a perfect place to entertain on long summer evenings, combining total privacy and the most amazing terrace with wonderful views over the lovely beach at Sandyhills and the sea.

“The accommodation inside is superb, with a particularly high-end kitchen and premium bathrooms. The contemporary design and the lovely situation offer a wonderful lifestyle for the purchaser.”
