Characterful 3-bed cottage with garden and garage near Port William.
Stone Victorian cottage with period character and gable roof
Alticry Lodge is a stone-built Victorian cottage set in a quiet rural spot a short drive from Port William, with easy access to Newton Stewart, Wigtown and Stranraer. The house offers a warm, characterful interior — a bright sitting room with wood-burning stove, a garden room with direct garden access, a well-proportioned kitchen/diner and a flexible ground-floor snug that can serve as a bedroom. Three bedrooms and a useful first-floor office/dressing area complete the accommodation across an 880 sq ft footprint.
The outside is a genuine selling point: a walled formal lawn to the side, a terraced rear garden with vegetable beds, sheltered patio for alfresco dining, a hen run, oil tank and a detached wooden garage. Practical features include oil-fired central heating, double glazing throughout, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working in a rural setting.
Buyers should note the cottage sits in a remoter, agricultural community with limited local services and a higher level of area deprivation; day-to-day amenities will typically require travel to nearby towns. The property is freehold and presents good potential for light modernisation and landscaping to increase comfort and value, but ongoing costs from oil heating and routine maintenance of a period stone cottage should be factored in.
Alticry Lodge will suit buyers seeking rural character, outdoor space and a flexible family home or a countryside retreat. It combines traditional features with practical modern comforts and offers scope for cosmetic updating to reflect personal taste.
