A well-presented traditional Galloway cottage offered chain free and currently run as a successful self-catering holiday let. Set on the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet, the property enjoys uninterrupted sea views from principal rooms and a large glazed garden room that captures the panorama and natural light. The layout — reception hall, sitting room, kitchen, garden room, bathroom and two double bedrooms — makes the house adaptable for holiday letting or as a compact permanent home.
The cottage retains character features including a stone fireplace, exposed beams and two wood-burning stoves, while modern comforts include uPVC double glazing and Nest central heating control. The conservatory/sunroom is a standout living space for guests or family and provides year-round enjoyment of the coastal outlook. The house is modest in footprint (approximately 765 sq ft) but feels spacious thanks to large windows and the garden room.
Practical points for buyers: the property is subject to a rateable value and currently benefits from small business rates relief as a holiday let. There is private off-street parking for one car and an enclosed rear garden laid mainly to lawn. The first-floor bedrooms have partially coombed ceilings which reduce headroom in parts; upstairs access is via a carpeted staircase. The location is rural and in a remoter community — peaceful and scenic but with a local area classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale dynamics.
Overall this cottage will appeal to investors seeking an established coastal holiday let or buyers wanting a characterful, low-traffic permanent home near beaches and countryside. It is chain free and ready to continue in its current use or be occupied year-round with minimal change.
