A substantial three-bedroom detached stone house offering a clear refurbishment opportunity in Whithorn. The property spans 2½ storeys with attic rooms and a spacious rear yard, and benefits from double glazing and a modern combi boiler (fitted 2017). Its traditional character and corner position suit buyers wanting period appeal and scope to add value.
The house is sold at auction as a renovation project. Several rooms are derelict and require repair — exposed brickwork, dated finishes, signs of wear and some damp in places; ceilings are low to average in parts. Practical improvements are needed throughout including full internal refurbishment and modern finishes to achieve the projected value and rental income.
This will suit a hands-on investor, flipper or first-time buyer comfortable managing works and short-term funding. Potential income scenarios have been suggested (market rent and short‑term rental examples), but these are projections and subject to permissions, occupancy and local demand. No planning application for short‑term rental is provided; any change of use or licensing would be the buyer’s responsibility.
Located on a quiet street close to local amenities and outdoor attractions, the house offers attractive rural character but sits in a very deprived area with average broadband speeds. The property is freehold and will be offered for quick sale at auction, so buyers should factor survey and refurbishment costs into their budgets.
