Spacious stone mill conversion with sun room, solar power and wooded grounds — family-ready in a rural setting.
Detached former sawmill with strong period character
Kirroughtree Mill is a converted stone sawmill set in roughly 1.18 acres of wooded, burn-side grounds about 1.5 miles from Newton Stewart. The house blends period character with practical modern upgrades — an expansive sun room/conservatory with recently replaced windows, 16 solar panels with battery storage, and FTTP broadband — making it well suited for family life and home working. The double garage provides secure parking and houses the solar control equipment.
Internally the layout works for family living: two main reception rooms plus a large sun room, kitchen with range cooker, utility/cloakroom and three good-sized first-floor bedrooms including a master with en-suite. An externally accessed hobby room/home office provides flexible space for a studio or dedicated work-from-home setup, but its external entrance may not suit everyone.
The site is a major asset — established lawns, fenced garden rooms, patio, greenhouse, summerhouse and attractive wooded walks beside the burn. The rural location offers excellent access to outdoor recreation in the Galloway Hills and nearby Kirroughtree mountain-biking trails while local shops, schools and services in Newton Stewart are a short drive away.
Practical considerations: the property is in a remote, very deprived area with average mobile signal; heating is oil-fired and drainage is by septic tank. Council tax is described as expensive. The house, while well-converted, is an older conversion (c.25–30 years) and prospective buyers should inspect services, access and the septic system as part of due diligence.
