Set on a large, private plot on the edge of Castle Douglas, this detached single-storey bungalow offers spacious, level living and generous gardens ideal for family life or outdoor hobbies. The well-proportioned living room with a fireplace and the boarded loft with Velux windows add practical flexibility immediately. Two of the three double bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, and the sizeable rear lawn provides a private entertaining and play area.
Practical features include off-street parking, oil-fired central heating, mains water and electricity, and drainage to a private septic tank. There is planning permission noted for a new access, and a substantial garage/outbuilding that presents conversion or storage potential subject to consents. The property sits with open countryside views while remaining close to Castle Douglas’s shops, schools and A75 road links.
Buyers should note several material considerations: broadband speeds are very slow, mobile signal is average, and some services (electricity and septic tank) are currently shared with the neighbouring garage; separation or formal shared-cost arrangements would be needed if lots are split. The house has an EPC rated D and is served by oil heating and a private septic system, which may be higher maintenance than mains drainage or gas heating.
This home will suit families, hobbyists or buyers seeking generous outdoor space and conversion potential who accept rural service limitations. Prospective purchasers are advised to carry out full due diligence on services, planning consents and access arrangements before offer.
