Character cottage with garden and rental potential, sold at auction.
Three bedrooms in a detached period cottage
A traditional three-bedroom cottage in Garlieston, offered freehold and presented for sale by timed online auction. The property sits in a quiet coastal village setting with an enclosed garden and period features such as exposed beams and a fireplace. It is being marketed at a guide price of £200,000 and is described as offered at a discount to secure an auction sale.
Accommodation includes two reception rooms, three bedrooms and a single bathroom. Room sizes and ceiling heights are modest throughout, reflecting the cottage’s older construction and compact layout. The house has clear rental potential (estimated £750–£850pcm) and will suit buyers seeking a manageable home, a holiday base, or a buy-to-let with immediate uplift potential.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working. The property is in an area classed as very deprived; local services and employment are limited by the remoter communities character. Some updating and internal modernisation will likely be needed to maximise value — this is reflected in the auction price.
For purchasers comfortable buying at auction, this cottage offers character, a private garden and nearby coastal scenery. Buyers should allow for renovation and connectivity improvements and be prepared to complete purchase via the auction process.
