Coo Palace is a Grade A building in coastal Galloway that had fallen into total dereliction.
It comprises two studios, 12 one-bedroom units, 10 two-bedroom units and two three-bedroom units along with an indoor heated swimming pool.
It offers views over Wigtown Bay and the Solway Firth and is 33 miles from Dumfries and 70 miles from Carlisle.
James Brown, who was an eccentric millionaire and co-founder of the Manchester department store ‘Affleck and Brown’ (the Harrods of the North), built Coo Palace for his 12 prize Belted Galloway cows in the early 20th Century.
Also known as the Corseyard Farm and Model Dairy, it comprised a milk parlour, cart shed and stabling as well as the 23m high water tower.
With a keen interest in the Arts & Crafts movement, and a flair for grandeur, Brown decorated his masterpiece with a mixture of the Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau and Italian styles in mind.
Following Brown’s death in 1920, sadly fell into disrepair, until the current £10million restoration.
