Torkirra Cottage is located just on the outskirts of the pretty Galloway village of Kirkgunzeon. The cottage occupies an elevated site benefitting from views across the surrounding countryside. This charming, detached cottage is mainly of traditional construction, recently been re-roofed, and is enclosed by its own mature garden grounds to the rear.

Torkirra Cottage benefits from private off-road parking via a gated concrete driveway. The garden to the rear is fully enclosed backing on to farmland with an area of lawn making this the perfect place for enjoying alfresco dining and family and social entertaining during the summer months. A concrete pad giving access to the double garage / workshop. Given the location of the cottage, a bounty of native wildlife can be enjoyed on a daily basis.

The Parish of Kirkgunzeon has existed from the thirteenth century, primarily an agricultural area with evidence of farming dating back to the Bronze Age settlements. In the 19th century the village was described as self-sufficient with a mill, school, shop, smithy and railway station. Many of these village facilities have now closed although both Maxwell Memorial Hall and the Primary School remain open. The memorial hall offers an annual programme of events and activities and can be hired for private functions and recreational activities such as the regular yoga classes. The Hall is also used by Kirkgunzeon primary school and their school ‘cluster’ partners of Palnackie and Colvend.
