Courtyard Cottage is a characterful converted stable/cottage dating from 1870, set in the historic Parton hamlet with expansive rural views. The house offers flexible, open-plan living: a bright kitchen/diner flows to a generous lounge/diner with a slate hearth and multi-fuel stove. Two bedrooms include a main ensuite and a family bathroom; a large attic has previously had planning permission for conversion to additional living space.
Outside, the property benefits from private, enclosed rear garden and off-street parking to both front and rear — a rare convenience in a remoter rural location. Double glazing and a modern multi-fuel stove help comfort, while Fischer electric heating provides main heating. The layout and garden suit professionals, retirees or a small family wanting a quiet country base with good broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note a few material points: the EPC rating is E and main heating is electric, which can mean higher running costs than gas-fired homes; council tax band is above average for the area. The property sits in a remote, very deprived local area with limited immediate amenities — nearest primary school 3.5 miles away and Castle Douglas around 7 miles. The attic has development potential but will require reinstating planning permission and conversion works.
This cottage will will appeal to those seeking rural character, scope to add value via attic conversion, and a peaceful setting near Loch Ken and the Galloway Forest Park. Viewing is advised to appreciate the internal space, garden and panoramic outlooks, and to assess any renovation or energy-efficiency improvements you may wish to undertake.
