Large period property with commercial potential near Galloway Forest Park.
Former tearoom with commercial kitchen and customer toilets on ground floor
Flexible three-storey layout — 12 rooms, 2,215 sq ft overall
Three/four double bedrooms and two family bathrooms
Private enclosed rear garden, courtyard and off-street parking
Period features and high ceilings; strong character throughout
EPC band F; oil-fired heating — likely high running costs
Stone walls assumed uninsulated; retrofit may be required
Located in a very deprived area; affects demand and funding options
This substantial Georgian end-terrace offers flexible three-storey living with clear commercial upside. The ground floor is set out as a former tearoom with a fully equipped commercial kitchen, utility and customer toilets — suitable to revive as a business, create a separate rental unit, or convert into additional residential space. Upstairs are generous reception rooms, a kitchen with balcony, four double bedrooms and two family bathrooms, all within 2,215 sq ft of accommodation.
Outside there is a private enclosed garden, courtyard with off-street parking and garden sheds, providing usable outdoor space rare in a High Street location. The property’s period features and high ceilings are strong character assets for holiday-let, hospitality or boutique residential uses. Its setting in New Galloway places it close to Loch Ken and the Galloway Forest Park, supporting tourist or leisure-focused income streams.
Buyers should note several important constraints: the EPC is band F and heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators; the stone walls are assumed uninsulated which will affect running costs and retrofit work; council tax is noted as expensive; and the area is classified as very deprived which may influence long-term demand and funding options. Average mobile and broadband speeds reflect the rural location.
This property suits an investor or buyer seeking a project with income potential or a large period family home with scope to modernise. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the size, layout flexibility and commercial possibilities, and to assess required insulation, heating upgrades and any refurbishment works.
