A compact, stone-built mid-terrace on York Road, this two-bedroom cottage is well suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low-maintenance living in Newton Stewart. The property combines traditional features — high ceilings and a fireplace — with recent upgrades such as full double glazing and a modern, spacious kitchen. Heating is supported by a multi-fuel burning stove, offering a cosy focal point for the living room.
Externally the house has practical benefits: a small paved forecourt providing off-street parking, a fully enclosed rear garden with mature planted borders, gravel paths, a timber shed, garden room and greenhouse. The plot is modest and low-maintenance rather than expansive, so it suits buyers wanting an easy-to-care outdoor space rather than extensive grounds.
Location is a strength: the home sits in a sought-after spot close to both primary and secondary schools and local amenities. Mobile signal is excellent and council tax is low, which helps running costs. Broadband speeds are average; this should be fine for typical home working but may not suit heavy users without an upgrade.
Buyers should note material limitations plainly. Internal room sizes are small-to-average consistent with a traditional terraced cottage footprint, and the narrow frontage limits external expansion. The property sits in an area classified with higher deprivation levels, which may affect resale considerations. A physical inspection is recommended to confirm condition and to identify any hidden repair or improvement needs not detailed here.
