Set on a corner in peaceful Creetown, this stone-built end-terrace cottage offers flexible three-floor living with genuine rustic character. The home combines an open-plan kitchen/living floor, a ground-floor reception that could be used as a third bedroom, and two front-facing bedrooms on the top level — a practical layout for first-time buyers or small families seeking space in a rural village.
The house benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an enclosed rear garden with direct access from the kitchen hall. Natural light floods the open-plan living/dining area thanks to triple-aspect windows and an external door that connects indoor and outdoor living. The property’s traditional details — stone exterior, chimney and period proportions — add charm and curb appeal.
Buyers should note the property needs updating: the living room and some fixtures are dated and would benefit from modernisation. Rooms are generally modest in size, and there is a single family bathroom plus a separate WC. Broadband speeds are average locally, though mobile signal is excellent.
Located close to local shops, a primary school and outdoor attractions including the Galloway Forest Park and coastline, the cottage is well placed for countryside living. The price and layout create real potential for those wanting an affordable rural home with scope to improve and personalise.
