Summary - WHITHORN LODGE, NEWTON STEWART, WHITHORN DG8 8DL
7 bed 1 bath Detached
Large Victorian lodge with B&B facilities, extensive grounds and coastal views.
Seven well-proportioned bedrooms with many original period features
Castlewigg Lodge is a substantial seven‑bedroom, two‑storey stone home set on a generous elevated plot with far‑reaching countryside and coastal views. The property retains many original period features — corniced ceilings, large windows and fireplaces — and occupies extensive landscaped grounds including lawns, mature trees, a pond, vegetable beds and useful outbuildings.
Previously run as a successful B&B, the house includes a commercial kitchen, reception/games room and a former bar, so it can continue as a hospitality enterprise or be adapted for family living with ancillary accommodation. The site’s size and layout also offer scope for small‑holding or more self‑sufficient living; biomass central heating supports lower running costs.
Buyers should note Castlewigg Lodge is a Category B listed building. Listed status will restrict alterations and may increase repair and maintenance costs. There is only one bathroom for seven bedrooms, so upgrading sanitary facilities will likely be required for comfortable modern living or larger guest operations. The property sits in a remote, very deprived area — services and amenities are limited locally, though major road links are reachable by car.
Overall this is a rare rural opportunity for someone seeking a historic country home with business potential, expansive grounds and good connectivity (excellent mobile and fast broadband). It will suit buyers prepared to manage listed‑building responsibilities and to invest in modernising facilities where needed.
