Summary - LILYDALE, HILLOWTON, CASTLE DOUGLAS DG7 3EL
3 bed 1 bath House
Generous 3‑bed bungalow with large garden and garage offering conversion potential.
Detached single‑storey bungalow with large private garden
Set on a generous plot on the edge of Castle Douglas, this detached three‑bedroom bungalow offers single‑storey living, extensive private garden and open countryside views. The layout includes two double bedrooms with en‑suite shower rooms, a third bedroom and a family bathroom; a boarded loft with Velux windows adds useful storage or potential extra space. Oil central heating, mains water/electricity and a private septic tank are already in place.
A significant sale feature is the adjacent three‑bay garage with upstairs floor and skylights; it has mains utilities and recent planning permission (ref 25/0565/FUL, March 2025) for a new vehicular access onto the A745. The garage is offered as Lot 2 and may be sold with the house or separately once an offer on the house is agreed, creating conversion or income potential (subject to consents).
Practical points are straightforward: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, which may affect remote working; drainage is to a shared private septic tank and some services are shared between the house and garage, so separate supply arrangements or shared‑cost agreements will be needed if lots are split. The property is in a very deprived area classification, so buyers seeking investment should factor local demand and service limitations into their plans.
This property will suit buyers looking for spacious single‑level family accommodation with large outdoor space, and investors or developers interested in garage conversion potential. The asking structure is offers over £375,000 for the house (Lot 1) with the garage offered at offers over £150,000 (Lot 2). Prospective purchasers should carry out their own due diligence on planning, services separation and local provision before committing.
