A substantial detached three-bay garage on the edge of Castle Douglas offering clear conversion potential (subject to consents). Planning for a new vehicular access from the A745 was granted in March 2025 (ref 25/0565/FUL), improving standalone access prospects and making the building practical either as a private annex or a self-contained unit.
The building has a concrete base, mains water and electricity, a floored upper level with large skylights and a separate WC — features that reduce initial conversion costs and give good natural light upstairs. Off-street parking and a large forecourt complement the garage footprint and suit a range of end uses.
Buyers should note material constraints: the garage currently shares the septic tank and electricity supplies with Oxly House, so separation of services or formal shared arrangements will be required if sold independently. The vendor will not sell the garage separately until an offer is agreed for Oxly House, which affects timing and conditionality for a standalone purchase.
Practical considerations include very slow broadband, average mobile signal and a local area classified as very deprived; these factors may influence rental demand or resale value and are important for budgeting works and forecasting returns. Prospective purchasers should carry out their own due diligence on planning, services separation, and running costs before offer.
