Summary - 16, MAIN STREET, NEWTON STEWART, WHAUPHILL DG8 9NR
3 bed 1 bath Cottage
Characterful 3-bed cottage with air-source heating, outbuilding and countryside views — garden access requires arrangement.
Three-bedroom semi-detached cottage with traditional features
Set on Main Street in Whauphill, this semi-detached 3-bedroom cottage combines traditional character with recent energy upgrades. Exposed stonework, multi-fuel stoves and rustic flagstone flooring give the principal rooms a warm, period feel, while a recently fitted air-source heating system and full UPVC double glazing improve comfort and running costs. The property measures about 904 sq ft and comes with a generous rear garden and a substantial stone outbuilding offering useful storage or workshop space.
Practical points for buyers: the upstairs bedroom maximum ceiling height is 5'10", which will affect headroom and furniture layout. Rear garden access is currently via the house only — establishing external access would require permission from a neighbouring owner. Broadband and mobile signal are average and the wider locality is a remoter, agricultural community with limited local services; travel to larger towns will be necessary for expanded amenities.
This cottage will suit purchasers seeking rural character and outdoor space — families, downsizers or buyers looking for a tranquil country retreat. The EPC is a strong B and the property is being marketed £20,000 below the Home Report valuation, which may provide immediate value for the right buyer. Note the area is classified as very deprived, which can affect local services and resale considerations.
