Summary - WEST GABLE, RUTHERFORD HALL, HIGH STREET, CASTLE DOUGLAS, GATEHOUSE OF FLEET DG7 2HS
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Three-bedroom townhouse with private garden, direct water access and versatile living spaces.
Grade B Listed former church — restrictions on alterations and potential extra costs
Set within the striking stonework of Rutherford Hall, this three-bedroom East Gable offers distinctive living across three floors with generous ceiling heights and large arched windows overlooking the River Fleet. Converted in 2006, the home blends contemporary fitted kitchen and bathrooms with retained ecclesiastical features such as cast-iron windows, oak floors and original pew seating in the entrance hall. The property is freehold and benefits from gas central heating and private off-street tandem parking for two cars.
Outside, the riverside garden is a genuine asset: lawn, raised decking and a private terrace at water level suitable for fishing, launching small boats or enjoying summer evenings. The layout includes a flexible sitting room on the upper floor and a large open-plan kitchen/family area on the ground floor, giving scope for both relaxed family life and letting income should you wish to explore that potential.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building is Grade B Listed, so alterations will be restricted and may involve additional costs and approvals. The wider local area scores as very deprived, which may affect resale dynamics and services. Broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal. Parking is tandem rather than side-by-side, which may be less convenient for some households.
This home will suit purchasers seeking a character-filled, semi-rural lifestyle with direct water access and strong holiday-let or part-time rental appeal, provided they are comfortable working within the constraints of listed-status ownership.
