Summary - GLENQUICKEN FARM, NEWTON STEWART, CREETOWN DG8 7ET
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large rural plot with historic ruin and former village water supply, planning required.
4.71 acres across both sides of the public road
Lot 5 at Billy Diamond’s Cottage is a substantial, largely open 4.71-acre parcel with a ruinous stone cottage and the former Creetown village water supply. The site includes an underground cistern and original pipework, with public-road electricity, telecom and fibre nearby — connections would be the purchaser’s responsibility and subject to consents. The land straddles both sides of the public road, offering a possible house site to the east and the water-supply area to the west.
This is a speculative development or smallholding opportunity for a buyer prepared to take on planning risk. No planning permission is granted; informal discussions with the council have taken place and economic justification is referenced in supplementary information. The ruin requires substantial reconstruction or replacement, and any development, servicing or change of use would need formal approvals and budget for infrastructure works.
Practical positives include good road access, a sizeable landholding with partial fencing, fast broadband available at the roadside, and a historically significant setting (mid-19th century cottage and local landmark bridge). There is no recorded flood risk. Drawbacks are the remote, rural location, need for significant capital to reconnect services and rebuild the cottage, and the onus on the purchaser to secure all statutory consents and any environmental compliance.
