Light-filled single-storey living meets practical family design at this modern four-bedroom bungalow on the edge of Newton Stewart. The open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room with vaulted full-height windows and French doors leads to a sunny patio, while a second reception room and a flexible bedroom/study provide space for home working or hobbies. The generous master suite includes an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe.
Built with energy efficiency in mind, the house has underfloor heating, whole-house ventilation and ten roof-mounted solar panels that reduce heating and hot-water costs. A block-built garage, private driveway and large 0.20-acre plot give good parking, storage and outdoor space. The cul-de-sac position overlooks playing fields, is opposite a community garden and lies within easy walking distance of schools, the leisure centre and town amenities.
Practical considerations are set out clearly: broadband speeds in the area are very slow, council tax is high and residents pay a communal bio-digester service fee (£30pcm) plus a below-average service charge (£360). New build plots either side are under construction — this will complete the cul-de-sac but may mean temporary noise and activity while neighbouring houses are finished.
Overall, this is a spacious, efficient family home in a community-oriented location with good local amenities and outdoor access. Buyers should weigh the clear energy and layout benefits against slow broadband, nearby building activity and ongoing local charges.
